KILLER INSTINCT

"After she's kicked out of the army, Charlie Fox teaches women to defend themselves against rapists and murderers-exactly like the predator who comes looking for her. Charlie was no good at being the nice girl her parents wanted, so she joined the British Army and acquired a whole new set of skills. And just when she thought she'd found her calling, she was dishonoured, disgraced, discharged. Now she puts those painful, hard-won lessons to good use, teaching self-defence to battered women in a local refuge-passing on the finer points of breaking bones when running simply isn't an option. Her abilities come in even handier when she takes a security job on the doors at the New Adelphi, a hot nightclub with a charismatic owner. And they come in handiest of all when her work brings her to the attention of a vicious rapist who's begun women at both the nightclub and the refuge. Will those skills be enough to save her-and those she cares about most?"--
