Review:

'Charlie Fox is fast becoming the must-read heroine of mystery...
The narrative moves like a banshee on speed...with a marvellous twist that
I never saw coming... This is mystery on the grand scale and yet so simply
written that you nearly miss how cleverly it is constructed' -- Ken Bruen

'Scarily good. Today's best action heroine is back with a bang.
Cross your fingers and toes that she survives for future adventures −
you definitely want her to' -- Lee Child

'Zo� Sharp is one of the brightest of the new generation of
British crime writers' -- Stephen Booth

From the Back Cover:

First Drop raised Zo� Sharp to electrifying new heights. Now, the award-winning suspense writer is back with a high-voltage thriller that will blow you away...

“Breathlessly compelling and utterly real.”—Jeffery Deaver

When the latest assignment for bodyguard Charlie Fox ends in a bloody shootout in a frozen New Hampshire forest, she's left fighting for her life...

“James Bond, watch your back.”—Booklist (starred review)

Charlie's client Simone Kerse has just become a lottery millionaire—but he may not live long enough to enjoy her riches. Charlie was supposed to keep Simone's troublesome ex-boyfriend at bay, and help her track down the father Simone had never really known—a relatively low-risk job.

“Addictive reading.”—Chicago Tribune

But Simone's father has secrets in his past that are about to come back and haunt him...and the arrival of his long-lost daughter may be the catalyst that blows his whole world apart. Now, the closer Charlie gets to the truth, the bigger threat she becomes. Only this time she's in no fit state to protect anyone—least of all herself....
