HARD KNOCKS: #03 (Charlie Fox crime thriller series)

I highly recommend this series! Ian RankinIf the Army had known what she would turn into would they ever have let her go?Charlie Fox didnt really care who shot dead her ex-army comrade during a bodyguard training course in Germany. But when old flame Sean Meyer asks her to go undercover at Major Gilbys elite school and find out what happened she just cant refuse.Keeping her nerve isnt easy as events bring back fears and memories shes worked so hard to forget. And trying to blend in by playing down her abilities proves a real challenge.Shes going to need all her skills. There are secrets at Einsbaden Manor worth killing for and some of the students have more on their minds than simply learning about close protection.Subjects like revenge and murder.And whats the connection between Major Gilby and the spate of vicious kidnappings that have left a trail of bodies halfway across Europe? Charlie expected training to be tough but will she graduate from this school of hard knocks alive?If you like strong yet believable female protagonists who will take down the bad guys without hesitation but who are still human enough to care then Charlie Fox is definitely for you. Readers have found books in this series action-packed thrill rides that kept them glued to the end well-written gritty and hard to put down. Real page-turners. *Revised and updated editionAuthors Note: This is Book #3 in the long-running Charlie Fox series. If you want to find out her backstory-how she began working with Sean Meyer after their time in the Army-this is where to look. If youre more interested in Charlies career as a close-protection operative then Id recommend you begin with Book #4 FIRST DROP when she and her teenage charge find themselves on the run during her first bodyguard job in Florida.
