Hard Knocks

"Charlie Fox is simply the best."—Jeffery Deaver "Zoü Sharp writes some of the best thrillers around. . . . Charlie Fox is totally believable, thanks to Sharp's writing skill."—Ted Hertel, Deadly Pleasures "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 "If you're looking for an author who can deliver high-octane thrills every time and a character who is NOT to be messed with, you've found them. Zoü Sharp and Charlie Fox both kick ass."—Mark Billingham, best-selling author of Death Message Hard Knocks finds Charlie Fox ( Killer Instinct ) in Germany, fighting for her life. Charlie really didn't care who shot dead her traitorous ex-army comrade Kirk Salter during a bodyguard training course in Germany. But when old flame Sean Meyer asks her to go undercover at an elite school and find out what happened to Kirk, she just can't bring herself to refuse. Zoü Sharp lives in the English Lake District with her husband Andy. Her hobbies are sailing, fast cars (and faster motorbikes), target shooting, travel, films, music, and reading just about anything she can get her hands on. She is the author of eight Charlie Fox novels, including Fourth Day (Pegasus Books, 2010). Sharp's heroine Charlie Fox was featured in a story in Busted Flush Press' A Hell of a Woman , "Served Cold," which was nominated for the 2009 Crime Writers' Association Short Story Dagger.
