At the Sharp End . . .

Box sets a huge success . . .

One of the top presents last Christmas was an eBook reader (including the plethora of tablets now on the market). So I came up with a couple of Kindle stocking-fillers I hoped might suit newcomers to the digital reading world. I'm delighted to say they have been a huge success.

A TRIPLE SHOT of Charlie Fox neatly packages the first three books in the series into an e-box set, and ANOTHER ROUND of Charlie Fox might tempt you to read books four, five and six. Both at a bargain price, a saving on the combined cost of the individual books.

Each boxed set also contains a standalone short story as a bonus.  A TRIPLE SHOT of Charlie Fox includes 'Last Right' and ANOTHER ROUND of Charlie Fox has 'Tell Me', both of which are available to download individually in Kindle format. Full details of both stories below.

SECOND SHOT and THIRD STRIKE out in Kindle . . .

New editions of SECOND SHOT and THIRD STRIKE, books six and seven in the Charlie Fox series, are now available in Kindle format.

. . . and two new short stories for good measure

The two short stories included as a bonus in the e-boxed sets highlighted above are also now available to download individually in Kindle format.

In 'Last Right', a prodigal son, a vanished wife, and a dying patriarch combine in a tale of betrayal and revenge on the Mexican border. 'Tell Me' is a poignant tale of the meeting between CSI Grace McColl and a young girl found attacked in a local park. The victim may be reluctant to tell Grace who she is and what happened but the evidence will speak for itself and Grace is a very good listener.

Charlie Fox storms the Big Easy . . .

DIE EASY is finally here. The eagerly awaited book ten in the Charlie Fox series, DIE EASY picks up five months after the end of the previous instalment, FIFTH VICTIM. Charlie finds herself in New Orleans, Louisiana, surrounded by friends, enemies, and one man who hasn’t quite made up his mind . . .

Taking Charlie to New Orleans—The Big Easy—has long been one of my ambitions. After visiting the city in 2010, I was struck by the contrast of devastation and renewal that marks such a strong divide between the poorer residential areas and the rich tourist attractions. I wanted to shine my imaginary light and see, as Chandler put it, if the streets were "dark with something more than night."

In the sweating heat of Louisiana, former Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard, Charlie Fox, faces her toughest challenge yet.

Professionally, she’s at the top of her game, but her personal life is in ruins. Her lover, bodyguard Sean Meyer, has woken from a gunshot-induced coma with his memory in tatters. It seems that piecing back together the relationship they shared is proving harder for him than relearning the intricacies of the close-protection business.

. . . once again, in Die Easy, Zoë Sharp is at the top of her game

New York Times best-selling author, Harlan Coben

Until, that is, they find themselves thrust into the middle of a war zone.

When an ambitious robbery explodes into a deadly hostage situation, the motive may be far more complex than simple greed. Somebody has a major score to settle, and Sean is part of the reason. Only trouble is, he doesn’t remember why.

And when Charlie finds herself facing a nightmare from her own past, she realises she can’t rely on Sean to watch her back. This time, she’s got to fight it out on her own.

One thing is for certain, though—no matter how overwhelming the odds stacked against her, or however hopeless the situation may appear, Charlie is never going to die easy.
