Synopsis

The 15th thriller in the Spider Shepherd series promises even more unputdownable action from the Sunday Times bestseller Stephen Leather.

He is one of the world's most ruthless terrorists, codenamed Saladin. He plans and executes devastating attacks and then, ghost-like, he disappears.

Ten years ago he blew a plane out of the sky above New York - and now he's struck again, killing dozens in a London strike.

But one of the latest victims is related to the acting head of MI5, who knows exactly who she wants on the case: Spider Shepherd.

Dean Martin, a psychologically damaged former Navy SEAL, is the only person in the world who can identify Saladin. But Martin was killed ten years ago - wasn't he?

Shepherd must find Martin and take him back to the killing fields on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Revenge on the world's most wanted terrorist is long overdue, and Shepherd is determined to be the one to deliver it . . .

Goodreads review by Ken

I’m slightly more relaxed about reading books out of sequence(unless it’s a trilogy), so this the 15th and most recent Dan ‘Spider’ Shepherd was my first introduction to this series.

Goodreads review by Sarah

So Dan Shepherd is back and as always, it’s with a bang! The start of this novel is both shocking and exciting. You just know that whatever is between the covers in books in this series, there is plenty to look forward to.

Goodreads review by Nick

I have the view that most people could write a thriller. Very few people can write thrillers as good as this one. Our journey starts ten years ago, following a major terrorist incident, a very black “kill order” is put out on anyone associated with it. Cue our old friend Richard Yokely, a man with no......more

Goodreads review by Greenockian

A thriller for right-wingers and racist from start to finish. Once we get those "little" issues out of the way there is a great adventure story at the centre of this book. I have to say that I wouldn't want to meet the writer up a dark alley if the novel is an accurate portrayal of what he believes......more
