Book Details
Skin River is a tense, chilling novel that introduces Steven Sidor, a fine young writer with an exacting touch, a disciplined hand, and a remarkable talent for suspense.
Buddy Bayes is a man with a past trying desperately for a second chance at a peaceful life as a tavern owner in smalltown Gunnar, Wisconsin. His hopes for a new start are shattered, however, when he finds the severed hand of a missing young woman and falls headlong into a harrowing situation which has Buddy convinced that his past has come back to haunt him.
Things aren't what they seem, though, and jumping to conclusions proves to be a disastrous mistake as the true nature of Buddy's situation slowly comes into focus.

In The News
“Hard-nosed, soft-hearted Buddy is irresistible, and Sidor supports him with bang-bang storytelling and a sharply drawn cast. Take note, and you may see a star in the making.” —Kirkus Reviews
“With an eye for gritty detail and a predilection for metaphor, Sidor paints a morbid picture of deviance and death in the small Wisconsin town of Gunnar in his fast-paced crime debut.” —Publishers Weekly
“Sidor's debut novel maintains the tension throughout as the serial killer continues to thwart and taunt investigators. Exquisitely plotted, with a well-realized main character.” —Booklist
“An incredible debut--unforgettable, spellbinding, and darkly suspenseful. Steven Sidor must have sold his soul to the devil to write this well.” —Steve Hamilton, author of Ice Run
“Skin River is a sharp, breathless upcountry thriller. Steven Sidor keeps the pacing piano-wire taut and selects his words with a vivisectionist's diabolical care.” —Steve Hamilton, author of Ice Run
