COPY ISBN
Charlie Fox is a female bodyguard for hire. Her latest adventure (after Fourth Day) finds her tasked with protecting Dina, the daughter of a wealthy Long Island family and the target of a kidnapping ring preying on rich kids. As the list of kidnapping victims steadily grows longer, Charlie begins to realize that Dina and her friends may not all be innocent victims. As she struggles to figure out who is behind these crimes, she receives shocking news about her lover, Sean. The man who shot Sean and put him in a coma is on the loose. Charlie is suddenly faced with one of the toughest decisions of her life—go after Sean's shooter or remain loyal to her duties in protecting Dina.
VERDICT Given the somewhat predictable story line, Sharp's novel falls short of expectations. Fans of the series will likely find this thriller appealing, but new readers unfamiliar with the recurring characters may be bored.
