Riot Act

RIOT ACT: Charlie Fox book two is the second in Zoe Sharp's highly acclaimed Charlotte 'Charlie' Fox crime thriller series. "I am a violent man, Miss Fox," Garton-Jones said, without bravado or inflection. "I can ae' and will ae' do whatever is necessary to control this estate. Remember that." A self-defence expert with a motorbike and an attitude, Charlie Fox doesn't need to go looking for trouble. It generally finds her. House-sitting for a friend seems like an easy favour at first but the house in question is in the Lavender Gardens estate. Teenage gangs are running riot and Charlie's desperate neighbours have been forced to employ an expensive ae' and ruthless ae' security firm to apply rough justice where the legal kind has failed. The situation gets even uglier when a young Asian boy is fatally wounded in what appears to be a racially motivated shooting. Caught in the middle of an urban battlefield, Charlie's more than able to take care of herself but then she comes face to face
