Description
Ex-army. Current badass. Charlie Fox has some knowledge to drop in "one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there" (Chicago Tribune).
Who doesn't love a good British boarding-school story? Well, Charlie Fox for starters, especially now that she's been dropped in the middle of one. Einsbaden Manor, snuggled deep in the German countryside, isn't exactly Hogwarts: It specializes in training bodyguards, and it's in Germany because the British government takes a dim view of some of the techniques it teaches. With her military background and her intimate knowledge of how to take a punch, Charlie hardly needs the lessons, but she does need to find out why an old friend ended his studies at Einsbaden—and his life—with a hail of bullets in his back. And of course, there's a second question: Will Charlie figure out how to graduate without following her mate's example?

"The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant and Charlie's skills are formidable and for real." —The New York Times
