  The stories so far…

  the Charlie Fox series

  KILLER INSTINCT #1: Charlie Fox teaches women to defend themselves against rapists and murderers—just like the man who comes looking for her.

  RIOT ACT #2: Charlie is supposed to be dog-sitting, not leading the resistance, but what else can a girl do when her housing estate turns into an urban battlefield?

  HARD KNOCKS #3: Does Major Gilby’s school in Germany specialise in training bodyguards—or killing them? When an old army comrade dies there, Charlie is sent undercover to find out.

  FIRST DROP #4: Charlie’s first bodyguard job in Florida should have been easy—until people start dying and she and her teenage charge are forced on the run.

  ROAD KILL #5: When a motorcycle ‘accident’ almost kills her best friend, Charlie promises to find out what really happened. Even if that paints a huge target on her back.

  SECOND SHOT #6: New England. Her late principal’s baby daughter is in danger. Charlie will risk everything to keep her safe. But she’s in no state to protect anyone, herself least of all.

  THIRD STRIKE #7: What’s Charlie’s worst nightmare? A ‘bring your parents to work’ day. When her surgeon father falls foul of a pharmaceutical giant, only Charlie stands in their way.

  FOURTH DAY #8: A man joins the Fourth Day cult to prove they killed his son. By the time Charlie and Sean get him out, he’s convinced otherwise. Then he dies...

  FIFTH VICTIM #9: How can Charlie protect the daughter of a rich Long Island banker when the girl seems determined to put them both in harm’s way?

  DIE EASY #10: A deadly hostage situation in New Orleans forces Charlie to improvise as never before. And this time she can’t rely on Sean to watch her back.

  ABSENCE OF LIGHT #11: In the aftermath of an earthquake, Charlie’s working alongside a team who dig out the living and ID the dead, and hoping they won’t find out why she’s really there.

  FOX HUNTER #12: Charlie can never forget the men who put a brutal end to her army career, but she swore a long time ago she would never go looking for them. Now she doesn’t have a choice.

  BAD TURN #13: Charlie is out of work, out of her apartment and out of options. Why else would she be working for a shady arms dealer?

  TRIAL UNDER FIRE #0: The untold story. Before she was a bodyguard, she was a soldier... (Coming soon)

  FOX FIVE RELOADED: short story collection. Charlie Fox. In small bites. With sharp teeth. (Coming soon)

  the Lakes Thriller trilogy

  DANCING ON THE GRAVE: #1 A sniper with a mission, a CSI with something to prove, a young cop with nothing to lose, and a teenage girl with a terrifying obsession. The calm of the English Lake District is about to be shattered.

  BONES IN THE RIVER: #2 Driving on a country road, late at night, you hit a child. There are no witnesses. You have everything to lose. What do you do?

  standalone crime thrillers

  THE BLOOD WHISPERER Six years ago CSI Kelly Jacks woke next to a butchered body with the knife in her hands and no memory of what happened. She trusted the evidence would prove her innocence. It didn't. Is history now repeating itself?

  AN ITALIAN JOB (with John Lawton) Former soldiers Gina and Jack are about to discover that love is far deadlier the second time around.
