About this listen

The 14th thriller in the Spider Shepherd series promises even more gripping action from The Sunday Times best seller Stephen Leather.

Working undercover is all about trust - getting the target to trust you and then betraying them in order to bring them to justice.

But what do you do when you believe an undercover cop has crossed the line and aligned herself with the international drugs smuggler she was supposed to be targeting?

When a deep-undercover cop stops passing on intelligence about her target, MI5 sends in Dan 'Spider' Shepherd to check that she is on the straight and narrow.

Now two lives are on the line - and Shepherd discovers that the real danger is closer to home than he realised.

As Spider finds his loyalties being tested to the limit, an SAS killer is on a revenge mission in London, and only Spider can stop him.

More than the last one. As always with Leather, I enjoy the the little insights he gives beside the macho stuff.

Enjoyed this ....

Great weaving of two stories together with skill and suspense. A page-turner as expected from Stephen Leather.

Brilliant narrator

Stephen Leather, is such a good author he leads you in so many on the edge of your seat situations with different characters that are on their own path, that when you leave one character and start on another you can't wait to get back to that character and so on, great book can't for the next book to come out.

Paul Thornley is arguably the best narrator around it's got to the stage where I have started to follow Paul around in his audible life, it's just great when he teams up with Stephen Leather.

The best yet

As always a good read (or listen). But with the same voice being used for so many characters it was a bit confusing at times.
Spider is my favourite character in all the books I read, but this book wasn't quite as thrilling as usual saying that I did enjoy it, I just expected a little more umph.

Peter Parker has nothing on him!

God I hate Willowby-Brown! Superb character though. Paul Thornley is by far the best narrator, Stephen Leather the best author of this genre & Spider the best ‘hero’

Another Belting Story

Narrator was excellent and the Dan Shepherd books are great. I whizzed through this book which makes me believe it was really good.

Another cracking Dan Shepherd book.
