SCAR TISSUE

Caffy Tyler is a former drug addict and prostitute who supports herself by painting historic homes in Kent. When she stumbles upon her former pimp, the creep who scarred her for life, her life takes another turn for the worse. First, Caffy sees a dead body in the house, but the local police don't believe her. Then a bomb kills her postman. Patricia Gallimore increases the tension in this story of drugs, smuggling, murder, and police corruption. Gallimore's emotions kick into gear as Caffy unravels the skeins of a conspiracy while attempting to keep safe, sane, and free of her past and the violence that haunts her.
