In Your Hands, Under Her Skin
Marco Bocci
In Your Hands, Under Her Skin is a psychological thriller that explores the fragile fabric of love, obsession, and delusion.
At the heart of the story is Laura, a woman with a past of excess and reckless passion – until it all came crashing down. A forbidden tryst in the bathroom of a movie theater. A drug-fueled haze. A violent act that left a man dead and sent Manolo to prison.
Seven years later, Laura has meticulously rebuilt her life. With Francesco, a devoted and steady presence, and their young son, she has carved out a fragile sanctuary rooted in loyalty and the promise of a better future. But when Manolo is released from prison and comes searching for her, Laura’s past claws its way back to the surface.
Through interwoven flashbacks and confessions, the novel peels back the layers of Laura’s turbulent relationship with Manolo, the intoxicating allure of their passion and the emotional reckoning that follows. As Manolo tightens his grip on her once more, Laura is forced to confront the boundaries of control, the weight of her choices, and the cost of redemption.
Raw, gripping, and compelling In Your Hands, Under Her Skin takes readers into the darkest recesses of desire and dependency. It asks unsettling questions about the nature of victimization.
