Synopsis

The sixth book in the bestselling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series.

Mickey and Mark Moore are Ordinary Decent Criminals - hard men who live by their own code and leaders of a gang that has made millions at the point of a gun.

But when Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is sent to infiltrate the tightly-knit team of bank robbers, he discovers that he has more in common with them then he first thought. And that perhaps being a career criminal isn't the worst thing in the world.

As Shepherd and his Serious Organised Crime Agency colleagues plot the downfall of the Moore brothers, a more sinister threat stalks the streets of London. A group of home-grown Islamic fundamentalist fanatics embark on a campaign of terror the like of which Britain has never seen. Car bombs and beheadings are only the prelude of what they have planned.

And Shepherd is the only man who can stop them.

Goodreads review by Arnold on August 26, 2023

I say this after every instalment but this may be my new favourite in the series. I felt as though I was also going through the conflict that Dan was having at the end. There were some chance encounters, however the encounters were viable. I think we’re seeing Dan evolve and develop, constantly asking......more

Goodreads review by KEVIN on January 14, 2018

A contemporary thriller composed of two stories running side by side with no over lap until the final showdown. Exciting stuff and tightly written; one story involves home-grown (UK) Islamic terrorists the other an undercover cop infiltrating a gang of bank robbers who have semi-retired to Thailand......more

Goodreads review by Gavin on April 07, 2010

Currently my favourite author. I love the Dan 'Spider' Shepherd books...always packed full of action and adrenaline. Old friends and foes regualrly appear in the series...I enjoy it when the author sucks you into the life of the criminals which at times leaves me actually wanting them to succeed. I......more

Goodreads review by Dan on December 16, 2013

I really enjoyed this one. Being set in Thailand makes a pleasant difference, and the life of a criminal is not so bad after all...maybe! If I'm not mistaken, Stephen lives in Thailand and although his reference points in the UK are always accurate, you can tell that there are some hands-on facts fl......more
