** spoiler alert ** Skin needs to find his girlfriend Ruby Jane. While he was on vacation, she took off and no one seen or heard from her. Meanwhile, there's a dead guy in her bathtub and her brother's been run down in the street.

Actually, this was very well-written and I liked the characters. Unfortunately, I didn't like the fact that about half the book is told in the present, but the other half is in the past. Ruby Jane's history didn't hold my interest, but Skin's search did.

I also hated the ending, but that's just me. I don't like to get attached to characters and have them killed off for no good reason and then have people act like nothing really happened.
