THE NEW MUST-READ SPIDER SHEPHERD THRILLER

The target - The Prime Minister. The assassins - hard-bitten jihadists with nothing to lose.

The only man who can stop them? Dan "Spider" Shepherd.

But Shepherd's reputation is also on the line - he helped get one of the jihadists into the UK during the final days of the War in Afghanistan.

Now he has to track down the man whose life he once saved.

But the assassins aren't lone wolf killers - someone much more devious is pulling their strings.

And the clock is ticking . . .

Great story. Only slight niggle, the narrator needs to allow a slightly longer gap between settings/chapter breaks. Like one second your with shepherd somewhere, your listening while driving, for a split moment you have to focus elsewhere and then your in a totally different scene and setting with different characters.

Never disappoints

An excellent fast paced thriller. Stephen Leather never lets his readers down, at times I caught myself holding my breath. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
