About this audiobook
"The deadliest female protagonist since Jon Land's Caitlin Strong and Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander."--Booklist
Exactly one year ago, Camaro Espinoza killed five bad men in New York City and fled town. Now she's keeping a low profile in Miami, running night charter catch-and-release fishing trips off the coast. It's a simple life for a former combat medic. But it wasn't easy to come by. Camaro plans to do everything she can to hold onto it.
Trouble comes knocking in the form of Parker Story, a man in over his head with all the wrong people. Parker wants to book Camaro's boat to run a small errand off the coast of Cuba. Camaro knows she shouldn't get involved. But Parker's got a teenaged daughter named Lauren, and Parker's associates have threatened to harm her if the mission doesn't go off without a hitch. Camaro has never met the girl. Barely seen her picture. But that doesn't mean she can ignore her plight.
Camaro's used to being wanted--by men good and bad, by soldiers wounded on the field of battle, by the long arm of the law. But she's never been needed before. Not the way Lauren needs her. Joining forces with Parker, Camaro soon finds herself in the midst of double crosses, international intrigue, broken promises and scattered bullets. Even a skilled warrior like herself may not be able to escape unscathed.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Night Charter – A Gripping ThrillerThe award winning crime writer Sam Hawken has written an absolute stonking thriller that grabs you by the throat, dodging the bullets and delivers you at the end breathless. This book deals with a whole realm of crime, criminals and the kidnapped, while bringing together various strands of the story to a crescendo. No boring steroid ape of an American male stereotype but a kick-ass female who can stand on her own two feet and then some, whether on land or sea.The writing draws you in and keeps you wanting more and more, the choice of words are like bullets that hit the target every time. Sam Hawken is a skilled crime writer who knows how to hook a reader and keep them interested, which is surprising as he is a Manchester United fan. United fans are not the sort capable of stringing a coherent sentence together usually. Sam Hawken has disproved the rule that all Manchester United fans are idiots, which in the main they are; he is a first class writer.Camero Espinoza has run away from her previous lives, as an army medic and that which she had in New York, to start over again in Miami, owning and operating a charter boat The Annabel. A boat that she may have bought in cash but one that earns her a good living as a charter taking fisherman out in to the Atlantic. Parker Story is an ex-con with a 14 year old daughter Lauren who survives in Miami but has the opportunity of a lifetime to earn some easy cash. He just needs to hire a bout get it close to Cuba, pick up a package and come home, deliver package to customer. Nothing could be easier, even if he is working with his ex-cellmate Matt Carter and his crew.Parker hires Camero to sail her boat and pick up the package and take them all back to Miami nothing could be easier as long as they keep away from the coastguard and do not raise attention with the police or FBI.While we only ever get hints at Camero’s past what we do get to see is a woman who can survive on the streets and the high seas. She can see that Parker is out of his depth with Carter and does not trust him. Parker asks her to take care of Lauren if anything should happen to him and keep him out of Matt’s hands.As the bodies pile up Camero realises that she will have to do everything in her power to protect Lauren, while avoiding the police wherever possible. At the same time she does not want to put Lauren in danger from Carter or the Cuban gangs so she needs to live on her wits to keep them all alive. What we get is a high paced thriller, with human interest stories, pumped up with a slick hero in Camero Espinoza; this is a book thriller readers will love. Camero is a star in-waiting and I truly hope that she will make another breathless outing, sooner rather than later. The Night Charter is a winner a taut, exciting, pulsating winner at that brought to us from the excellent mind of Sam Hawken.
