ROAD KILL is the fifth in Zoë Sharp’s highly acclaimed Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Fox crime thriller series, now available in e-format for the first time, complete with author’s notes, excerpt from the next Charlie Fox – SECOND SHOT. “If you stay involved with Sean Meyer you will end up killing again,” my father said. “And next time, Charlotte, you might not get away with it.” Still bearing the emotional scars from her traumatic first bodyguarding job in the States, Charlie Fox returns to her former home to try and work out both her personal and professional future. Instead of the peace for which she's been hoping, Charlie is immediately caught up in the aftermath of a fatal bike crash involving one of her closest friends. The more she probes, the more she suspects that the accident was far from accidental – and the more she finds herself relying on the support of her troubled boss, Sean Meyer, despite her misgivings over the wisdom of resuming their relationship. And Charlie's got enough on her plate trying to work out who suddenly wants her dead. The only way to find out is to infiltrate a group of illegal road racers who appear hell-bent on living fast and dying young. Taking risks is something that ex-Special Forces soldier Charlie knows all about, but doing it just for kicks seems like asking for trouble. By the time she finds out what's really at stake, she might be too late to stop them all becoming road kill . . .

Third Strike
Zoe Sharp
DescriptionCharlie Fox, a former British army soldier who now spends her days protecting others. In this installment (after Second Shot, 2007), Agent Fox’s assignment hits a bit too close to home. Her physician father, who has long disapproved of his daughter’s line of work, finds his reputation in jeopardy when he’s wrongfully linked to an American patient’s death. Charlie’s father may have a cold demeanor, but his skills as an orthopedic surgeon are beyond dispute. Who would want to discredit him—and why? The subsequent kidnapping of Charlie’s mother offers some answers and ignites a cat-and-mouse game, in which Charlie and her security-agent boyfriend seek to protect Charlie’s parents at all costs. Fox is a satisfyingly complex character, the survivor of a brutal gang rape and multiple gunshots that have wounded both her body and mind.
