Riot Act

Second in the series featuring a one-woman wrecking crew from the author of Killer Instinct. “Charlie Fox is simply the best.” —Jeffery Deaver No good deed goes unpunished. That’s what Charlie Fox discovers when she agrees to dog-sit for a friend, only to find that the friend’s housing complex is being terrorized by violent gangs. Desperate and frightened, the residents have hired a freelance “security” firm, whose bully-boy tactics aren’t a whole lot more appealing. With her bike on hand and a big dog by her side, Charlie is more than able to take care of herself, until a ghost comes calling—a ghost from some of Charlie’s very bad old days. To save the locals of the Lavender Garden estate (and incidentally, her own skin), Charlie’s going to have to learn to trust somebody. That’s going to be a tough lesson to learn: Trust has never been her strong suit. 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 “One of the very best crime fiction sagas out there.” —Chicago Tribune
