A left-leaning intellectual among mostly right-leaning Leathernecks, she is also adept at making waves and riding out storms-that is, until she meets walking disaster Sergeant Rob Copeland and his fiancée, Katrine. Although accustomed to finding herself in hot water thanks to her unreliable verbal filtration device, Jackie is unprepared for the havoc caused by the ambitious but unstable sergeant, and devastated by what she discovers about Katrine in the aftermath.Set in Minneapolis during the First Gulf War, Thinner Skin packs the tension of a military drama and the momentum of a Grisham thriller but with fewer casualties, no terrorists, and only one lawyer. Brimming with suspense and edgy humor, it will leave readers breathless with its rapid-fire pacing and exhilarating hairpin curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBillie Jean Diersen is an author of long fiction, short stories and essays.
