Summary

The fourth book in the best-selling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series, from the master of the gritty action thriller Stephen Leather.

Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is used to putting his life on the line. It goes with the turf when you're an undercover cop. 

Now working for the Serious Organised Crime Agency, Shepherd is pitting his wits against the toughest criminals in the country. But when the man who once saved his life is kidnapped in the badlands of Iraq, thrown into a basement and threatened with execution, Shepherd has to decide whether his loyalties lie with his country, his career or his friend. 

Shepherd and his former SAS colleagues realise that the hostage has been abandoned by the government and that officially nothing is being done to rescue him. And with the execution deadline only days away, Shepherd knows that the only way to stop his friend being murdered is to put himself in the firing line in the most dangerous city in the world - Baghdad.

Always love Spider

I was pleased that there wasn’t too much gruesome activity which I have to fast forward every time. There’s something about Spiders character that I feel a connection with.

Brilliant

Getting addicted to this character and Paul Thornley is just fantastic to listen to. Another great story it’s like 3 stories running at the same time.

Another great listen.

Spider at his best, superbly narrated by Paul Thornley as ever.

I find this series highly addictive, many I read as original books, now even better as an audiobook.

Wonderful. 👌🏼

Great series

Enjoyed it but Spider was getting a little to sanctimonious!

Spider is Full of S#!t

I’m sick of Spider’s high and mighty attitude and can’t stand a lead that says he’ll do anything for a friend and then doesn’t.
First three books pretty good but this will let you down.
