One of the best yet in this excellent series - I'm surprised Sharp is not more widely known. Charlie's father, a successful orthopaedic surgeon, is arrested I the USA and appears to be intent on destroying his career. Charlie and Sean intervene and discover a conspiracy threatening both her parents. Lots of action, but also interesting development of e relationships between all 4 main characters, as they begin to understand and respect each other more. Through all the books I've felt Charlie was overly harsh towards her parents, saying they don't care when in almost every book Richard comes to her aid no questions asked, and ignoring the fact that she is very much like them, but won't admit it. This book shows how clever the author is - she admits in the afterword that she has been building up to this story, and it's really well done. The ending means I'm going to have to download the next one straightaway. This is a fun thriller that I read on vacation and would recommend as light, yet engrossing reading. Former British military Charlie works with her lover,Sean, for a private security firm, guarding people or whatever. Fate takes an odd turn when her prominent surgeon father is enmeshed in a possible scandal/crime involving big pharma and rogue agent. The parts where we hear her father and lover sparring were tiresome, but short, and that's my only complaint about this well written, fun novel, full of action. I read this one on vacation.
Do You like book Third Strike (2008)?
Didn't like this one nearly as well as "First Drop" the only other Charlie Fox book I've read.
