Walk Away

fullDescription

Camaro Espinoza is "the deadliest female protagonist since Jon Land's Caitlin Strong and Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander" (Booklist).
Camaro Espinoza is a former combat medic whose past is shrouded in mystery. Having finally achieved a measure of calm and anonymity, Camaro receives a distress call from her sister Annabel. Living a modest life in a small town in California, Annabel has become trapped in an abusive relationship with a man named Jake Collier who threatens to make her daughter his next victim.
Camaro rushes across the country to defend her sister for what may be the last time. And Jake has a sibling of his own, an ex-Special Forces operative named Lukas who is every bit as unhinged as Camaro is uncompromising. For all Camaro's stealth and wit, she can only last so long against such a relentless force.
As a pair of federal marshals pick up the trail, and a bounty hunter with a debt to settle closes in, Camaro's smart enough to know that standing her ground is the last thing she should do. But if there's one thing Camaro can't do, it's walk away — even with a freight train like Lukas barreling towards her.

1. • premium: False
   • source: Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
   • content: Hard-boiled action...Camaro Espinoza, who did tours in the Middle East, is tougher than an army boot....it's deeply satisfying to watch her take out an animal like Lukas.
2. • premium: False
   • source: John Valeri, Strand Magazine
   • content: A trifecta of triumph . . . A complex and compelling protagonist (coupled with richly defined secondary characters), authenticity of voice and vista, and resonant timeliness. . . . Camaro Espinoza is a name to remember, and readers will find themselves rooting for her despite the many liberties she takes with conventional law and order. Justice is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
3. • premium: False
   • source: Craig Johnson, bestselling author of the Walt Longmire mysteries, the basis for Netflix's Longmire
   • content: Sign on for The Night Charter, Sam Hawken's hot new thriller captained by Camaro Espinoza, a protagonist that'll light up the literary seascape unlike anything before.
4. • premium: False
   • source: Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals and The Stolen Ones
   • content: The Night Charter is a heck of a book by a fine writer. Camaro Espinoza is a captivating heroine, whether shooting it out with the bad guys or standing, unflinching, in the face of the law. Drawn into this saga by a strong moral code and her own dark past, Camaro is impossible not to root for, and Sam Hawken's deft, assured prose keeps the pages turning—and your heart pounding—all the way to The Night Charter's adrenaline-soaked finale.
5. • premium: False
   • source: David Morrell, bestselling author of Inspector of the Dead and Murder as a Fine Art
   • content: The Night Charter caught me completely by surprise. In precise, neon-soaked prose, Sam Hawken launches a promising new series headed for the high seas of John D. MacDonald and the relentlessness of Lee Child. Camaro herself is a wonderful creation, an uncompromising heroine whose adventures many readers, including this one, will look forward to for many books to come.
6. • premium: False
   • source: Matthew Quirk, bestselling author of The 500 and The Directive
   • content: The Night Charter is a terrific thriller. Riding her Harley and settling scores, Camaro Espinoza takes us on a gritty, fast-paced adventure. Sam Hawken has produced a great riff on the lone wolf hero, a kind of female Jack Reacher.

     November 14, 2016
     In Hawken’s competent if predicable sequel to 2015’s The Night Charter, former combat medic, martial arts expert, and all-around badass Camaro Espinoza is maintaining a quiet under-the-radar existence in Miami, where she runs a small charter fishing boat. Then she receives a coded distress message from her sister, Annabel, who has escaped a complicated past and now lives under an assumed name in Carmel, Calif. Annabel’s boyfriend, Jacob Collier, has become increasingly violent and abusive, and she has begun to fear for her life. Camaro races across country to her sister’s aid. In Carmel, she learns that Lukas Collier, Jake’s brother, has recently jumped bail and is wanted for murder. An ex-Marine combat vet, Lukas is also a stone psychopath and soon sets his sights on Annabel and Camaro. Hawken is a talented writer and knows how to construct a fine page-turner, but this outing doesn’t quite match the depth and soul of his borderland novels (Missing, etc.). Agent: Oli Munson, A.M. Heath (U.K.).

     Hawken continues the exploits of Camaro Espinoza, a tough female former Army medic, in this shoot-'em-up, action-packed installment set in the sleepy communities that ring Los Angeles.Camaro's younger sister, Annabel, has finally broken free of her abusive boyfriend, Jake Collier, but she can't get him to leave. She talks her sister into coming to her aid, but while Camaro's straightening him out, Jake's big brother, Lukas, is busy murdering the bail bondsman who tried to take him into custody in Denver. Meanwhile, Camaro faces off with Jake at his job in a local lumberyard and things don't go down well for him. As Lukas works his way closer to California to finalize a scheme with his brother, he drags behind him a trail of people set on revenge, including Yates, the father of the bail bondsman he killed, and Way, a deputy U.S. marshal whose partner he murdered. As Camaro seeks to protect her sister, Way and Yates find themselves on opposite sides of Camaro's cooperation even though all three of them seek the same resolution. Plenty of guns and fisticuffs, as well as a twisty trail to follow, fill this action enthusiast's tale. And Hawken certainly knows how to keep the action going: Camaro goes from scrape to scrape with barely enough time to treat her own wounds and regroup before the next ambush or assault. But while Hawken writes excellent action/adventure, where he falls down is in bringing his characters to life. Camaro is basically a man with breasts: there's nothing about her that feels female (although her sister is as domestic as Betty Crocker). The bad guys--Lukas the killer and Way the deputy U.S. marshal--are so deranged they devolve into caricatures. Only Yates, the old man whose son has died, resonates as a human being. While action's fine when it's plentiful, more attention to character development could have made Camaro more relatable and provided both villains with some badly needed dimension.

     Here's what happened to a fellow who got on the wrong side of Camaro Espinoza. She gripped his forearm like a baseball bat and cranked it hard at the same moment she pivoted her hips into his. Then a few kicks to the head, snapping his skull around violently. Neither shenor wetake the time to ponder that her behavior is mighty illegal, because it's that kind of novel: fast, violent, and starring a lead character with a private code, and to hell with those law books. Camaro like the car is a former combat medic and martial-arts expert pulled into bounty hunting, arms sales, murder, and revenge, and it's to Hawken's credit that he keeps a complex plot coherent and a large cast easily identifiable. Like a good action hero, Camaro is solitary, vengeful, and fond of beer and motorcyclesa female tough guy who defies stereotypes with engaging bravado. Hawken calls her a lean, mean thrilling machine. He's nailed it.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
