Description

A twisty crime thriller that has "the must-read heroine of mystery" heading for a crash—from the award-winning author of First Drop (Ken Bruen).
For Charlie Fox, motorcycles have been a means of escape and a source of power. But now they've turned on her: A bike accident has left her best friend for dead. And as Charlie pokes around—was it an accident?—her beloved bike starts looking less like a symbol of freedom and more like an avatar of rage. And Charlie herself is a moving target.

"There's a high-octane climax to this entertaining story, in which Charlie once more displays her courage and ingenuity." —The Sunday Telegraph
Praise for Zoë Sharp and the Charlie Fox series
"If Jack Reacher were a woman, he'd be Charlie Fox." —Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Zoë Sharp is one of the sharpest, coolest, and most intriguing writers I know. She delivers dramatic, action-packed novels with characters we really care about." —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"The bloody bar fights are bloody brilliant and Charlie's skills are formidable and for real." —The New York Times
"As action-packed and streamlined as the Suzuki the main character, a self-defense expert, rides. Zoë Sharp has an apt last name." —David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author.

Charlie Fox's close friend, Clare, is severely injured in a motorcycle riding double where the driver was killed. It appears they were intentionally targeted. Clare asks Charlie to look out for her step-son, Jamie, who is planning to go with a motorcycle group on a trip to Ireland. When Jamie's mother is found searching her estranged husband Jacob's and Clare's house, her boyfriend attacks Charlie, who discovers money has gone missing. Boyfriend Sean Meyer and Charlie join the trip to discover what shenanigans are afoot. Plenty of action, but the plot is significantly over-the-top and there is too much motorcycling for the average reader.
