Reviews"Charlie Fox came on strong in Zo Sharp's early novels but, like a lot of tough girls, softened up with time. Now, thanks to an enterprising small press, we can catch Charlie in the rough. Originally published in 2001, Killer Instinct finds this army-trained martial-arts expert on her first job, working security for a club in an English seaside town. Charlie looks like a made-for-TV model, with her red hair and motorcycle leathers, but Sharp means business. The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant, and Charlie's skills are both formidable and for real." -- Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review, July 4, 2010 "A solid, very well-written debut... The urban English setting is nicely realised, and grimy enough to make the reader's skin crawl on occasion, particularly Charlie's work at the Adelphi Nightclub. And even so early in the series, the action is so well choreographed that you believe every bone crunching impact on the page. Killer Instinct is a sharp, punchy read; a brutally confident start to a series that would continue to evolve in the best possible ways. Busted Flush Press are going to be reprinting the early Fox novels over the next year or so, and you'd be well advised to check them out and get acquainted with one of the most well-defined and convincing series protagonists I've encountered in a long time." -- Russel McLean, Crime Scene Scotland "One of the best crime debuts for years." -- Yorkshire Post "An exciting... entertaining first novel." -- Sunday Telegraph "A lively first book from Sharp, written with assurance and panache... a pacy read with a fresh and defiant heroine." -- Manchester Evening News, "Charlie Fox came on strong in Zoë Sharp's early novels but, like a lot of tough girls, softened up with time.

Synopsis"One of the best crime debuts in years."-- Yorkshire Post "An exciting . . . entertaining first novel."-- The Sunday Telegraph Introducing a tough new heroine in thriller fiction--Zo Sharp's Charlie Fox! Charlie makes a living of sorts teaching self-defense to women. It's a skill she picked up out of necessity, having been kicked out of the British Army for reasons she prefers not to go into. So when Susie Hollins is found dead after she mistakenly tussles with Charlie, Fox knows it's only a matter of time before the police come calling. And when the real killer starts taking a very personal interest in Charlie, she finds herself in the middle of the investigation, where she has no choice but to stand and fight. Fans of Lee Child, Greg Rucka, Gayle Lynds, and Stella Rimington should not miss this thriller series! Never before published in the United States, this is the highly-sought first novel in the Charlie Fox series. An original novel with an introduction by Lee Child. Zo Sharp lives in the English Lake District with her husband, Andy. Her hobbies are sailing, fast cars (and faster motorbikes), target shooting, travel, films, music, and reading just about anything she can get her hands on. She is the author of seven Charlie Fox novels, including Third Strike (St. Martin's Minotaur, 2009). Sharp's heroine Charlie Fox was featured in a story in Busted Flush Press' A Hell of a Woman , "Served Cold," which was nominated for the 2009 Crime Writers' Association Short Story Dagger.
