Publisher Description
A violent stalker has a terrified woman in his sights. Camaro Espinoza will make him sorry.
Life in Miami isn't complicated for ex-army medic Camaro Espinoza: Piloting charter fishing trips, fighting at the gym, drinking at the bar. Simple doesn't mean stable, though, and two complicating factors -- okay, people -- are about to disrupt Camaro's relative peace.
Faith Glazer, an accountant with no way to defend herself, begs Camaro's help to stop a stalker who follows her every move. While Ignacio Montellano, a detective on the homicide beat, wants to be her guardian angel and all too deftly finds ways to insert himself in her path.
When Faith's stalker takes his obsession to a new, frightening level, Camaro might find reason to appreciate Montellano after all. The deeper they look, the more trouble they find: federal agents, money-launderers, crooked security contractors, and paramilitary killers. Every one of them with a reason to come after Faith, and to put Camaro down. But Camaro -- the "female Jack Reacher" (The Toronto Star) -- doesn't flinch when violence comes her way. And she has a singular talent for making her enemies sorry they ever heard her name.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hawken's kick-ass third Camaro Espinoza thriller (after 2017's Walk Away) finds the hard-drinking, motorcycle-riding, mixed marital arts enthusiast finally achieving some semblance of existential peace in Miami, Fla., where she runs a charter fishing business. But when a woman approaches her asking for help dealing with a stalker, Camaro reluctantly agrees to teach her self-defense skills, only to become entangled with killers from a Colombian paramilitary drug cartel involved in money laundering and drug smuggling. Complicating matters is Ignacio Montellano, a Miami homicide detective, whose friendship with the prickly Camaro may not only jeopardize his career but also their lives. Tightly plotted if a bit predictable in places, the action-packed narrative derives its real power from the complex character of Camaro, whose toughness and bad attitude make Jack Reacher look like a choir boy. Fans of Zo Sharp's Charlie Fox will love Camaro, especially her memorable one-liners: "I've never killed anyone who didn't need to be dead."
