Zoë Sharp opted out of mainstream education at the age of twelve and wrote her first novel when she was fifteen. She created the no-nonsense heroine of her highly acclaimed Charlotte 'Charlie' Fox crime thriller series after receiving death-threat letters as a photojournalist.

If you haven't met Charlie Fox, the Chicago Tribune described her as: "Ill-tempered, aggressive and borderline psychotic, Fox is also compassionate, introspective and highly principled: arguably one of the most enigmatic — and coolest — heroines in contemporary genre fiction."

In his introduction to the VENGEANCE anthology, Lee Child said: "If I were a woman, I'd be Zoë. If Jack Reacher were a woman, he'd be Zoë's main character, Charlie Fox."

Zoë's work has been used in school textbooks in Denmark, made into a short film, optioned twice for TV and film, inspired an original song and has won or been nominated for numerous awards both in the United States and in the UK.

So far there are twelve books in the Charlie Fox series, plus a novella, a short story anthology, two e-boxed sets, and numerous short stories, with more coming soon! She has also written a standalone crime thriller, THE BLOOD WHISPERER, which features another strong female protagonist: former CSI turned crime-scene cleaner, Kelly Jacks, and collaborated with espionage thriller author John Lawton on a novella, AN ITALIAN JOB.

After receiving such a positive reaction to DANCING ON THE GRAVE, which was intended as a standalone crime thriller involving a sniper on the loose in the English Lake District, Zoë decided to turn this into a series. The second book featuring CSI Grace McColl and Detectivew Nick Weston is BONES IN THE RIVER, published May 2020.
