Synopsis "Fourth Day: #08: Charlie fox Crime Mystery Thriller Series (in English)"
“I highly recommend this series!” Ian Rankin“Can you suggest one salient reason why I shouldn’t follow my first instincts and rid myself of you at the earliest opportunity?”The cult known as Fourth Day is well-funded and guards its privacy. Five years ago, Thomas Witney went in to gather evidence that the cult’s charismatic leader, Randall Bane, was responsible for the death of Witney’s son. Witney never came out.Now, ex-Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard, Charlie Fox, agrees to go undercover into Fourth Day’s California stronghold. A fast covert op—no real danger for someone with her mind-set and training. But Charlie is not prepared for the lure of Randall Bane, nor how easily he will pinpoint her weaknesses…“It's fast moving, it's a humdinger of a thriller, and certainly, in my opinion, Zoë's best yet.” Paul Norman, Books Monthly“The plot races through to a stunning conclusion, which left me more anxious than ever to read the next instalment in the series. Highly recommended.” Gloria Feit, Spinetingler Magazine“One of the most emotionally honest and yet adrenaline-pumping thrillers of the past few years.” Russel D McLean, Crime Scene ScotlandIf you like Lee Child but have been looking for strong yet believable female protagonists, who will take down the bad guys without hesitation but who are still human enough to care, then bodyguard Charlie Fox is definitely for you. Readers have found books in this series action-packed thrill rides that kept them glued to the end, well-written, gritty, and hard to put down. A real page-turner.Author’s Note:This is Book #8 in the Charlie Fox series. Although I’ve tried hard to make each of the stories stand alone, inevitably Charlie’s history builds up over the course of the novels. If you are new to the series and want to know the full story of Charlie—how she began working with Sean Meyer after their time in the Army—then start at the beginning. If you’re more interested in Charlie’s career as a close-protection operative, then I’d recommend you begin with Book #4, FIRST DROP, when she and her teenage charge find themselves on the run during her first bodyguard job in Florida. ★★★★★ PRAISE FOR ZOE SHARP AND CHARLIE FOX*“If Jack Reacher were a woman, he’d be Charlie Fox.” Lee Child“Must reading for fans of action-packed, hard-edged thrillers.” Booklist (starred review)*“Charlie Fox could give Cotton Malone a run for his money, but I think he'd enjoy every minute of it.” Steve Berry*“Male and female crime fiction readers alike will find Sharp’s writing style addictively readable—one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there.” Paul Goat Allen, Chicago Tribune*“One of the most vivid and engaging heroines ever to swagger onto the pages of a book. Where Charlie goes, thrills follow.” Tess Gerritsen“The prose sparkles like a diamond under a spotlight.” Graham Smith, crimesquad
