Latest Thriller An Edge-Of-Your-Seat Mystery

A freak storm has spawned three tornadoes that are bearing down on the town of Summerville, Nevada. Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: a vindictive killer known as Red, who's left a string of victims in his wake and is
now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town.

But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit-closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one sleepy town.

Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She's a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any of whom could be the next victim...or the killer.

So begins "Skin" (Thomas Nelson, Inc.), the most twisting, unpredictable novel yet from the mind of the "Master of Suspense," Ted Dekker. A radically countercultural story, "Skin" asks the question, "Are we all born ugly to the core with no power to make ourselves beautiful?" Far more than a philosophical question, it's a matter of life and death.

As the FBI begins to close in, his captors ponder this madman's identity and pas
t. All the while, the daunting question continues to haunt them: "What makes the beautiful ugly and the ugly beautiful?" The answer will shock-and haunt-readers long after the last pages have been turned.

"The supremacy of inner beauty is an age-old theme that I've brought to life in a contemporary thriller that flies in the face of traditional treatments of similar themes, in that it equates evil with ugliness and goodness with beauty. Only the beautiful survive in this game," explains Dekker. "The problem is, all the players not only contend with evil, but are evil at their core. Becoming beautiful begins with recognizing that they are indeed ugly and powerless to become beautiful on their own."

The author of 15 novels, with combined sales of more than 2 million books, Dekker has consistently topped best-seller lists and is considered a leading name in the suspense genre. The first film based on one of his novels, "Thr3e," was released in theaters in January 2007.

The fiction division at Thomas Nelson, Inc. brings the best stories to the broadest audience-always told from a Christian worldview.
