Read an extract from Under the Skin

Isserley spends most of her time driving. But why is she so interested in picking up hitchhikers? And why are they always male, well-built and alone? An utterly unpredictable and macabre mystery, Michel Faber’s debut novel, freshly reissued for 2010, is an outstanding piece of fiction that will stay with you long after you have turned the last page.
