About this listen

 The 14th thriller in the Spider Shepherd series promises even more unputdownable action from The Sunday Times bestseller 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.

'[Leather] has the uncanny knack of producing plots that are all too real' Daily Mail

I thought this book was absolutely amazing, from start to finish, it had me hooked also, the narrator Paul Thornley in my opinion, he is the best narrator this is, a five star book, written by a five star author, read by a five star narrator!

Amazing book

I’ve had a few Spider stories. I’m near the end of this one and I have to say this is the best one yet. Two stories alongside each other. Really gripping with great action. Written with tremendous knowledge, nice humour and performed perfectly by Paul.

The best one yet
