First in the slam-bang series featuring a bodyguard with special forces skills. "If Jack Reacher were a woman, he'd be Charlie Fox." —Lee Child
Charlie Fox was no good at being the nice girl her parents wanted, so she joined Her Majesty's military and acquired a new set of skills. Now she puts them to use teaching self-defense to battered women in a refuge. Her talents come in even handier when she takes a job working security at the New Adelphi, a hot new club with an enigmatic owner. And they come in handiest of all when a rapist appears to be targeting the women at the refuge, and someone with a very nasty line in knife-work starts stalking Charlie's friends.
