Zoe Sharp

In one of the most beautiful corners of England something very ugly is about to take place. A sniper with a mission...a young cop with nothing to lose...a CSI with everything to prove...a teenage girl with a terrifying obsession... There's a killer on the loose in the Lake District, and the calm of an English summer is shattered. For newly qualified Crime Scene Investigator Grace McColl, it's both the start of a nightmare and the chance to prove herself after a mistake that cost a life. For Detective Constable Nick Weston, recently transferred from London, it's an opportunity to recover his nerve after a disastrous undercover operation left him for dead. And for a lonely, loveless teenage girl, Edith, it's the start of a twisted fantasy--one she never dreamed might come true. Formerly published as a standalone novel, this self-contained story is now the first in a three-book series. Book 2, BONES IN THE RIVER is published May 2020.

"If Jack Reacher were a woman, he'd be Charlie Fox."--Lee ChildOne bad turn...deserves another. Charlie has quit her job in close protection, been turned out of her apartment, and is apparently out of luck. House-sitting in rural New Jersey has to be the pits--TV and TV dinners. A far cry from Iraq... Bulgaria... Afghanistan. Unlucky or not, she happens to be around at the right time to foil a violent kidnap attempt on Helena, wife of billionaire arms dealer, Eric Kincaid. Kincaid offers her a job looking after Helena. The rumours about Kincaid's business empire say he's gone over to the dark side, but Charlie is in no position to be fussy. And protecting people against those who want to do them harm is what she's good at. But when the threats against the Kincaids escalate, and then follow the couple over to Europe, Charlie's really going to have to up her game. It's time to take the fight to the enemy. Charlie's at her best putting an end to trouble. Now she must learn to strike first. And hope that the Kincaids don't discover the secret she's been keeping from them, right from the start. Reader reviews: "What kept me enthralled was the evolution of this MacGuyver-resourceful, pit-bull tenacious, intensely loyal woman.""Charlie Fox is absolutely my favorite female protagonist ""It's an elegantly crafted thriller, engaging and enticingand I could not recommend it more.""This is a five-star book for sure.""Zo Sharp has done it again and turned out another stonking-good read.""If you looked up 'page-turner' in the dictionary I would not be at all surprised to see a picture of the front cover of BAD TURN in lieu of a definition. If you like the Charlie Fox series, this is a must-read, but even if you've never read a Charlie Fox book before, this is still a must-read.""I couldn't tear myself away. And am now sitting in a holding pattern for the next Charlie Fox book. Can't wait.""One of my favorite authors is Zo Sharp and, if you haven't had the pleasure of meeting her kick-butt character Charlotte 'Charlie' Fox, you are in for a treat.""Charlie Fox is back I was hooked by the second page The book is full of twists and turns that you never see coming. I was blown away from the big reveal at the end. You won't be able to put the book down. It is that good "
