Zero Day: An Angela McGlynn Short Story
This short story details an early experience in Angela McGlynn's teenage years that shaped her thirst for justice. The incident relates to one particular character from both The Breaks (Vigilante Investigator Novel #1) and GET9 (Vigilante Investigator Novel #2) but can also be read as a standalone introduction to the series. Acclaim for the ‘Angela McGlynn would normally be described as the female Jack Reacher. That’s selling her short.’ Murder, Mayhem & More ‘Charlie Fox and Angela McGlynn would get along just fine.’ Zoe Sharp – Author of the Charlie Fox series ‘Everything a fast-paced, gritty, West Coast gumshoe thriller ought to be. And more.’ Andy Martin – Author of Reacher Said Nothing – Lee Child and the making of Make Me ‘Sharp has a talent for energetic prose. I look forward to more from her and the further exploits of McGlynn and Knox.’ Crime Fiction Lover

Eden says:
"Writing is an addiction I've had since childhood. I decided I wanted to be a writer aged six and devised my own TV cop show in high school. I used to act out all the parts in my bedroom and then have my English teacher mark my scripts. I never stopped writing but it took me many years to do anything about it. Eventually I got serious and spent five years learning the craft and technique of writing starting with the Writers' Program at UCLA.”

A tight, taut tale which highlights a single – but formative – episode in the eventful life of Angela McGlynn. If you’ve not met her before, McGlynn is one of crime fiction’s most compelling female characters; a stealthy avenger with a lethal skill set and smarts to match.
In this quick thriller she’s just a teenager but already comes equipped with mean martial arts, the confidence to use them and a raging sense of outrage when she observes an act of injustice.
As with the author’s full-length novels, you’re not spoon-fed every single step in the story but instead follow the emotional beats, piecing together the unspoken evidence of evil and revelling in the inevitable righteous comeuppance.
A finely honed, illuminating interlude. A great place to start if you want an intro to this series of superior thrillers.
8/10

A short (very short) little bit about the Angela McGlynn character as a teen. I quite enjoyed it and would have loved for it to have been longer. She has an interesting background. I wouldn't mind reading more about it in between the larger novels.
