Who are Bobby Cain and Harper McCoy?

Raised as siblings by an itinerant "gypsy" family, knife expert Bobby Cain, trained by the US military in the lethal art of covert eliminations, and Harper McCoy, nurtured by the US Navy and the CIA to run black ops and wage psychological warfare, are now civilians. Of a sort. Employing the skills learned from the "family" and their training, they now fix the unfixable. Case in point: Retired General William Kessler hires the duo to track down his missing granddaughter, a Vanderbilt University co-ed. Their search leads them to a small, bucolic, lake-side town in central Tennessee and into a world of prostitution, human trafficking, and serial murder. The question then becomes: Will their considerable skills be enough for Cain and Harper to save the young woman, and themselves, from a sociopath with "home field" advantage, a hunter's skills, and his own deeply disturbing agenda?

PRAISE FOR SKIN IN THE GAME:

Terrific-truly sinister, scary, and suspenseful. Lyle never lets you down.-Lee Child, NYT Bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

SKIN IN THE GAME hums like a tuning fork in perfect thriller pitch. Heroes Bobby Cain and Harper McCoy are skilled with blade and mind, and the villain here sent chills up my spine from page one on. This is further proof that Doug Lyle is at the top of his game.-T. Jefferson Parker author of THE LAST GOOD GUY

D.P. Lyle's novels are chillingly authentic. An expert technician just keeps getting better. Packed with edge of the seat tension, Skin in the Game takes hunting to an astonishing, and frightening, new level.-Robert Dugoni, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Tracy Crosswhite Series

Skin in the Game is a bracing and blisteringly original thriller that challenges old genre rules while making up plenty of its own. D. P. Lyle has a fashioned a tale sharply edged enough to leave our fingers bleeding from turning the pages as fast as we can. His intrepid protagonists are among the best drawn and richly realized of any heroes seen in years with echoes of both David Baldacci and C. J. Box, making Skin in the Game is a winner from page one. A smooth and sultry tale that shoots for the moon and hits a literary bulls-eye.-Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series

Unputdownable. Bobby Cain wields both his knife and tongue with lethal expertise.

And what a wild ride along the way. Ray Donavan meets Deliverance!-K.J. Howe, international bestselling author of SKYJACK

SKIN IN THE GAME is "The Most Dangerous Game" on steroids. Fast, relentless, and cunning.-David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of Murder As A Fine Art
