SECOND SHOT is the sixth in Zoe Sharp's highly acclaimed Charlotte 'Charlie' Fox mystery thriller series. 'Take it from me, getting yourself shot hurts like hell.' When the latest assignment of ex-Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard, Charlie Fox, ends in a bloody shoot-out in a frozen New England forest she's left fighting for her life, with her client dead. Simone had just become a lottery millionairess but she never lived long enough to enjoy her newfound riches. Charlie was just supposed to be keeping Simone's troublesome ex-boyfriend at bay and helping track down the father Simone had never really known. But Simone's former SAS father has secrets in his past that are coming back and haunt him. Did Simone's money tempt him into engineering her death? And what happens now to Simone's baby daughter, Ella? With Simone gone, Ella's safety is Charlie's main concern. She's determined, despite her injuries, not to let anything happen to the child. Even if this time Charlie's in no state to protect anyone--least of all herself. Praise for Zoe Sharp: "Today's best action heroine is back with a bang ...Scarily good." Lee Child "Thrills and twists aplenty."
Sunday Telegraph "With Second Shot, Zoe Sharp has become the UK answer to Laura Lippman. In a world where the Cornwells, Reichs etc seem to dominate with their forensic precision, here is a novel that has a superbly paced plot and wondrous characterisation ...Charlie Fox is fast becoming the must-read heroine of mystery. She's flawed, confused and makes mistakes and has you rooting for her all the way. The writing is a joy, immediate, sassy and very moving ...Superb." Ken Bruen, bestselling author of Blitz and London Boulevard "Crackles with suspense." Booklist starred review "Yet another sleek, sharp thriller." David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood "Zoe Sharp is one of the brightest of the new generation of British crime writers, and Charlie Fox is a memorable creation-a welcome addition to the ranks of strong female characters who have turned crime fiction on its head." Stephen Booth "Ill-tempered, aggressive and borderline psychotic, Fox is also compassionate, introspective and highly principled: arguably one of the most enigmatic ae' and coolest ae' heroines in contemporary genre fiction ...One of the very best crime fiction sagas out there."
