Zoë Sharp bracht haar vormende jaren door aan boord van een catamaran aan de noordwestkust van Engeland, verliet het reguliere onderwijs op twaalfjarige leeftijd en voltooide haar eerste roman op vijftienjarige leeftijd. Na haar overstap naar freelance fotojournalistiek in 1988, inspireerden haar ervaringen, waaronder het ontvangen van doodsbedreigingen, haar direct tot haar meeslepende misdaadthrillerserie met Charlie Fox. Deze achtergrond doordrenkt haar werk met een uniek perspectief op gevaar en veerkracht, en biedt lezers grimmige, spannende verhalen.

“Charlie Fox is simply the best.”—Jeffery Deaver “Zoë 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 “Charlie Fox is fast becoming the must-read heroine of mystery.”—Ken Bruen A self-defense expert with a motorbike and an attitude, Charlie Fox doesn’t need to go looking for trouble. It generally finds her. House-sitting for a friend seemed like an easy favor at first, but the house in question is in the Lavender Garden Estate. Teenage gangs are running riot and Charlie’s desperate neighbors have been forced to employ an expensive—and ruthless—security firm to apply rough justice where the legal kind has failed. The situation gets even uglier when a young Asian boy is fatally wounded in what appears to be a racially motivated shooting. Caught in the middle of an urban battlefield, Charlie’s more than able to take care of herself, but then she comes face-to-face with a specter from her army past. As the tensions rise, lives will depend on Charlie working out just whom she can really trust.

'Susie Hollins may have been no great shakes as a karaoke singer, but I didn't think that was enough reason for anyone to want to kill her.' This opening book in the series introduces Charlie Fox, a tough new heroine who can very definitely take care of herself. Charlie makes a living of sorts teaching self-defence to women. It's a skill she picked up out of necessity having been kicked out of the army for reasons she prefers not to go into. So, when Susie Hollins is found dead after she mistakenly tussles with Charlie at the New Adelphi Club, Charlie knows it's only a matter of time before the police come calling. What they don't tell her is that the unlucky Hollins is the latest victim of a homicidal rapist stalking the local area. Charlie finds herself inadvertently drawn into the investigation when the New Adelphi's enigmatic owner, Marc Quinn, offers her a job. Viewed as an outsider by the existing all-male security team, her suspicion that there's a link between the club and the serial killer doesn't exactly endear her to anyone. Charlie has always taught her students that it's better to run away than to stand and fight. But, when the killer starts taking a very personal interest, it becomes clear that he isn't going to give her that option.
