Fox Hunter by Zoe Sharp

Charlie Fox is a great action hero in a male-dominated genre. Former special forces soldier who was forced out after she was brutally raped by members of her own unit, she has moved on and become a successful private security operative. When one of the men who assaulted her is tortured to death in Iraq, it appears that her ex-lover and current boss, Sean Meyer, is involved. Charlie can’t believe he would be so brutal, but a recent bullet to the head has left Sean changed, and Charlie unsure of what he might truly be capable of.

Charlie is tasked with finding and stopping Sean. In order to do so, she must figure out what he is after and follow the same trail. This trail leads her across the middle east and Europe. Along the way she runs into middle eastern thugs, Russians with shady agendas and American agents pursuing their own agenda which may or may not parallel Charlie’s. What follows is a combination of detective work, fist fights, gun fights and general mayhem.

Sharp has created an exciting character in Charlie Fox and her action scenes are second to none. Sharp’s style keeps the action flowing and the pages flying by. There’s a lot of backstory that might be missing if you are not familiar with earlier entries in the series, but not so much that new readers can’t jump in with this book. This is a solid action-adventure story that is sure to please any thriller fan. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book from the publisher.
