Other editions of book Skin Deep

An angry teenager is sucked into a gang of neo-Nazis Dan shows up on his first day at a new school with long blond hair, John Lennon glasses, and a shy grin that makes every girl in the hallway swoon. But he only has eyes for Laurel, who’s in his English class. Laurel stirs feelings in Dan that he never knew existed, and suddenly, he understands love. Soon, he will understand hate as well. When a gang of violent young men invades the annual Halloween party, most of Laurel’s friends stay away. The men are white supremacists with shaved heads, steel-toed boots, and a look in their eyes that says they’re ready to fight. But something in their attitude draws Dan toward them. He’s angry at the world, and these skinheads seem to understand how he feels. As he sinks deeper into their twisted world of hate and rage, Dan risks losing not only Laurel, but also his soul.

RN-turned novelist Bill Clem weaves a chilling tale of medical mayhem in this seat-of-your-pants thriller. David Reel, Washington, D.C. plastic surgeon and researcher, is about to make medical history. After two successful trial surgeries, his new creation, a second generation lab-grown skin, promises to be a miracle for burn victims. But beneath the fanfare, David is an emotionally tortured soul, haunted by the deaths of his mother and best friend in a horrific fire years before. Now, while managing his legitimate surgical practice, David is pursuing a more ungodly quest deep in the confines of his lab. That, however, is just the beginning of the nightmare, when he discovers that an unrelenting psychopath is out to destroy him. With his patients doomed and David on the verge of a breakdown, he has one final surprise for the medical community. Something so bizarre, so horrifying, not even his nemesis could have imagined it. And it will push David Reel to the brink of insanity and beyond?
