Description
A woman who beat the odds could lose her life. Enter Charlie Fox. "Today's best action heroine is back with a bang." —Lee Child
America and Charlie Fox: It's not a good mix. The bodyguard's first trip to the States began with a bratty kid and went downhill very quickly. This time around the kid is adorable, but Mom—a recent lottery winner—is bratty enough for two. The assignment's no fun (even the weather's lousy), but Charlie can't walk away. There's something about the client's situation that mirrors Charlie's own. She's a tough chick with parent-problems and a conflicted relationship with a former lover. Sound familiar? In Second Shot, "Sharp expertly builds the suspense in a nonstop thrill ride" (Publishers Weekly).
"Crackles with suspense, crisp prose, plenty of plot twists and a heroine who adds new meaning to the term femme fatale." —Booklist (starred review)
Praise for Zoë Sharp and the Charlie Fox series
"Zoë Sharp is one of the sharpest, coolest, and most intriguing writers I know. She delivers dramatic, action-packed novels with characters we really care about." —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant and Charlie's skills are formidable and for real." —The New York Times
"As action-packed and streamlined as the Suzuki the main character, a self-defense expert, rides. Zoë Sharp has an apt last name." —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author
"One of the very best crime fiction sagas out there." —Chicago Tribune

July 16, 2007
Sharp’s second Charlie Fox thriller to be published in the U.S. (after 2005’s acclaimed First Drop
) opens with a harrowing scene of the hard-hitting British bodyguard slowly bleeding to death in the frigid New Hampshire woods. Flashback to London: under the watchful eye of her boss and sometimes lover, Sean Meyer, Charlie reluctantly takes a job protecting recent lottery winner Simone Kerse and her young daughter, Ella, from Simone’s ex-boyfriend. Determined to find her long-estranged father, Simone travels to Boston with Charlie and Ella in tow. Charlie has her suspicions when a mysterious man approaches Simone, claiming to be her father, and these suspicions soon become frighteningly real when secrets about the Kerses’ past come to light, culminating in a gun battle that leaves Charlie struggling to piece together why a client shot her own bodyguard. Sharp expertly builds the suspense in a nonstop thrill ride that should win her many new American fans. Author tour.
