Maxim Jakubowski's view on DI JACK CAFFERY...
A London cop in self-exile in Bristol who is running from his past, now working in tandem with a local female police diver. Not for the faint-hearted, a series that explores the heart of darkness and chills to the bones. SKIN is the 4th in the series.
Jack Caffery series:
1. Birdman (2000)
2. The Treatment (2001)
3. Ritual (2008)
4. Skin (2009)
