Click here to read Lee Child’s Foreword to KILLER INSTINCT

 

“If Jack Reacher were a woman, he’d be Charlie Fox.” So said Lee Child in praise of the fierce, quietly emotional heroine at the heart of Zoe Sharp’s thriller series.

All-too familiar with the dark underbelly of her northern city, Charlie Fox is no stranger to trouble. No good at being the nice girl her parents wanted, she found her calling in the military, only to be dishonoured and discharged. But Charlie refuses to be a victim again, using hard-won skills to teach self-defence to domestic abuse survivors.

Recruited onto the security team of a hot new nightclub by its charismatic owner, Charlie is the only woman on the team. She faces brutal bar fights and constant danger. But as she becomes entangled in the seedy world of the club, she catches the attention of a vicious killer targeting local women.

With razor-sharp instincts and unwavering determination, will Charlie’s skills be enough to save not only herself, but those she cares about most?

A tightly written, character-driven blend of psychological tension and street-level grit. Charlie Fox is a fierce, quietly emotional heroine at the heart of a gripping narrative that explores violence through a distinctly female lens.
