Overview

"""I highly recommend this series!"" Ian Rankin If the Army had known what she would turn into, would they ever have let her go? Charlie Fox didn't really care who shot dead her ex-army comrade during a bodyguard training course in Germany. But when old flame Sean Meyer asks her to go undercover at Major Gilby's elite school and find out what happened, she just can't refuse. Keeping her nerve isn't easy as events bring back fears and memories she's worked so hard to forget. And trying to blend in by playing down her abilities proves a real challenge. She's going to need all her skills. There are secrets at Einsbaden Manor worth killing for, and some of the students have more on their minds than simply learning about close protection. Subjects like revenge, and murder. And what's the connection between Major Gilby and the spate of vicious kidnappings that have left a trail of bodies halfway across Europe? Charlie expected training to be tough, but will she graduate from this school of hard knocks alive? If you like strong yet believable female protagonists, who will take down the bad guys without hesitation but who are still human enough to care, then Charlie Fox is definitely for you. Readers have found books in this series action-packed thrill rides that kept them glued to the end, well-written, gritty, and hard to put down. Real page-turners. *Revised and updated edition Author's Note: This is Book #3 in the long-running Charlie Fox series. If you want to find out her backstory-how she began working with Sean Meyer after their time in the Army-this is where to look. If you're more interested in Charlie's career as a close-protection operative, then I'd recommend you begin with Book #4, FIRST DROP, when she and her teenage charge find themselves on the run during her first bodyguard job in Florida."

PRAISE FOR ZOE SHARP AND CHARLIE FOX * The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant and Charlie's skills are formidable and for real. Marilyn Stasio, New York Times * Charlotte (Charlie) Fox could give Cotton Malone a run for his money, but I think he'd enjoy every minute of it. Steve Berry * Male and female crime fiction readers alike will find Sharp's writing style addictively readable-one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there. Paul Goat Allen, Chicago Tribune * I highly recommend this series! Ian Rankin * Sharp's heroine Charlie Fox has to be one of the best characters in the crime thriller genre. Graham Smith, crimesquad * Zoe Sharp is one of the sharpest, coolest, and most intriguing writers I know. She delivers dramatic, action-packed novels with characters we really care about. Harlan Coben * This is the follow-up to Sharp's exceptionally sharp debut last year... It's hard to believe this is only her second crime book-she makes it all seem so effortless. Yorkshire Post * Breathlessly compelling and utterly real, this novel will keep you turning pages till dawn. Charlie Fox is simply the best. Jeffery Deaver READER REVIEWS * Brilliant Charlie Fox at her devastating best. The more Zoe Sharp books I read the more I am getting hooked. * OK I confess, I've become a Charlie Fox nut, but what's not to like? A great whodunnit with a kick-ass heroine. If you like Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, you'll love this! * Zoe Sharp is right up there with Connolly and Baldacci in the crime thriller range. * Loved the setting for this one too, and the great high speed race along the autobahn to save the girl (not Charlie, of course) ... Sharp's writing shines. * Bottom Line: Great series. Great Book. Highly recommended. * Zoe Sharp is a new discovery for me and she equals Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, Tess Gerritsen and many more of the great crime/mystery writers. * Glued from start to finish. In today's modern world a believable scenario. Cannot wait to read the next chapter of Charlie Fox life unravel. * Great characters and awesome writing. Have read all books in her series and can't wait for the next one.
