About this listen

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 . . .

Engrossing

A well constructed story pieced together over two timelines sees Spider facing new challenges. Really good story with some interesting characters and the odd familiar character too.

Great action some dodgy accents

Very gripping and on the edge of your seat story line.
Another great book by Stephen and narration from Paul. I just can’t wait for the neck Dan Shepherd book or Jack Nightingale from these two.

Yet another great listen
