"Praise for Zoe Sharp: 'Zoe Sharp is one of the brightest of the new generation of British crime writers, and Charlie Fox is a memorable creation - a welcome addition to the ranks of strong female characters who have turned crime fiction on its head.' Stephen Booth Praise for Killer Instinct: 'An exciting... Entertaining first novel' Sunday Telegraph Praise for Riot Act: 'A British newcomer with promise... ' The Bookseller Praise for Hard Knocks: 'Sharp lives up to her name... The writing is crisp, the plotting is skilful and the characters are well drawn... Cracking stuff' Yorkshire Post"

Product Description
'If you stay involved with Sean Meyer you will end up killing again,' my father said. 'And next time, Charlotte, you might not get away with it'. Still bearing the emotional scars from her traumatic first bodyguarding job in the States, Charlie Fox returns to her former home to try and work out both her personal and professional future. Instead of the peace she's hoping for, Charlie is immediately caught up in the aftermath of a fatal bike crash involving one of her closest friends. The more she probes, the more she suspects that the accident was far from accidental - and the more she finds herself relying on the support of her troubled boss, Sean, despite her misgivings over the wisdom of resuming their relationship. And Charlie's got enough on her plate trying to work out who suddenly wants her dead. The only way to find out is to infiltrate a group of illegal road racers who appear hell-bent on living fast and dying young.

Format:Paperback
Fifth in the Charlie Fox series, this sees her back at home when a close friend in involved in a motor-bike accident. Bikers, road races, a trip to Dublin and illegal trading all combine in this story - and Charlie needs the help of her ex-boss and sometime lover, Sean Meyer, to sort things out.
I've only just discovered Zoe Sharp and am hooked already. She writes tough and unflinching crime-thriller novels based around her uncompromising heroine Charlie Fox whose ex-Special Forces training makes her more than a match for the men around her.
In particular, the fraught relationship between Charlie and the lovely Sean Meyer really raise the emotional stakes. Excellent read.

the auther has an in depth knowledge of the north west and the lake district,she uses this to good advantage when creating a novel which is very difficult to put down having plenty of action,mystery and suspense
Format:Paperback
I loved this book. It still makes me want to ride a fast bike myself. Zoe's own enthusiasm for her bike riding flows through Charlie - I suspect an element of her own experiences on the road are in this book but if it was me, I'd definitely deny everything! The delectable Sean - what more can I say without giving anything away? The illegal bike racing through to the Irish road trip, I couldn't put this down - even to sleep! The whole Charlie Fox series will leave you wanting more and more...! Not one of Zoe's books has failed to deliver. Each one has been action packed with a completely different storyline.

Not her best, but still fun.
Early Zoe Sharp. Not published in US, so the colloquialism's were a bit difficult for this US reader. Her later material is more polished and the language is more universal. Read more
