The Russian oligarchs are the world's new elite. They treat the world as their plaything, travelling without borders and living lives of unimaginable luxury without fear or restraint.

But when an assassin starts killing off some of the world's richest men, an oligarch with friends in high places seeks the protection of MI5. And Spider Shepherd is placed in the firing line.

But while Shepherd has to save the life of a man he neither likes nor respects, he has to deal with a face from his past. The Taliban sniper who put a bullet in his shoulder, who has turned up alive and well and living in London.

But Shepherd is in no mood to forgive and forget...

An utterly gripping story in the beloved Spider Shepherd series, from one of the world's most gifted thriller authors, perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, David Baldacci and Jack Carr. ©2013 Stephen Leather Action & Adventure Freedom & Security Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Politics & Government Russia Thriller & Suspense War & Crisis Espionage Fiction Suspense Sniper
