When it comes to "breathtakingly fast-paced" thrillers (Publishers Weekly), CJ Lyons is a "master of the genre." (Pittsburgh Magazine) With SNAKE SKIN, she turns her eye on a little known area of law enforcement, one CJ was intimately associated with during her career as a pediatric ER doctor: crimes against children. Just your average Pittsburgh soccer mom, baking brownies and carrying a loaded forty-caliber Glock... Lucille Teresa Guardino. A woman of many identities. Lucille to her doting mother, Lulu to her devoted husband, Mom to her pre-teen daughter, Lucy to her friends, LT to her co-workers, and Supervisory Special Agent Guardino to the criminals she captures for the FBI's Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement squad. A loving mom and wife, dutiful daughter, consummate professional, and kick-ass federal agent, Lucy is living the perfect life. Until the day she comes up against a predator more vicious and cunning than any she's ever tackled before, one who forces Lucy to choose between the life of the young victim she is fighting to save and her own daughter's....and Lucy's dream life is shattered.

It's an in-your-face, no-holds-barred story depicting the cruel world of murder and drugs. As with all of her other books, CJ Lyons never disappoints. This book was a true page turner and I didn't want to put it down. She is a brilliant writer and storyteller both, which is not often found in an author. I am already looking forward to her next novel!" BookingIt.net on KILL ZONE "This tale is not for the faint of heart, for this is a tale of dark human emotions. A must read for anyone who enjoys high-octane emotions with realistic characters and an intriguing storyline." ~My Book Addiction on HARD FALL "A powerful taut thriller" ~Mystery Gazette "Lyons proves once again that she is a master of suspense." ~RT Book Reviews "Tinged with a compelling sense of dread, there are echoes of Kathy Reichs here, but Lyons has her own distinctive voice, and one that is a little more compassionate.
