Killer Instinct introduces Charlie Fox, a tough new heroine who can very definitely take care of herself…

 

Charlie Fox makes a living of sorts teaching self-defence to women. Its a skill she picked up out of necessity having been kicked out of the army for reasons she prefers not to go into. So, when Susie Hollins is found dead after she mistakenly tussles with Charlie at the New Adelphi Club, Charlie knows its only a matter of time before the police come calling. What they dont tell her is that the unlucky Hollins is the latest victim of a homicidal rapist stalking the local area.

 

Charlie finds herself inadvertently drawn into the investigation when the New Adelphis enigmatic owner, Marc Quinn, offers her a job. Viewed as an outsider by the existing all-male security team, her suspicion that theres a link between the club and the serial killer doesnt exactly endear her to anyone. Charlie has always taught her students that its better to run away than to stand and fight.

 

But, when the killer starts taking a very personal interest, it becomes clear that he isnt going to give her that option…
