Lillian Turner is an English teacher who finds herself inexplicably drawn to one of her students, Sheneel Greene. When Sheneel is found dead, Lillian cannot help but be curious, and she and her Navy-veteran husband Johnny become increasingly embroiled in a mystery of dark and dangerous proportions. In this second installment of Michael Wiley's noir thrillers set in Jacksonville, Florida, Detective Daniel Turner of the local police department takes another back seat. Second Skin is a mystery, but it is not a whodunit. From the very beginning it is clear where guilt lies, even if you don't know the specific individual who performed the act. Good is in shades of grey.
