Summary

The eighth book in the best-selling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series.

Kidnapping is one of the cruellest crimes - lives are put at risk for cold, hard cash. But when Somali pirates seize the crew of a yacht off the coast of Africa, they bite off more than they can chew.

One of the hostages has friends in high places, and Spider Shepherd is put on the case. He goes deep undercover in an audacious plan to bring an end to the pirate gang's reign of terror.

But as Shepherd closes in on his quarry, he realises that there's much more at stake than the lives of the hostages and that the pirates are involved in a terrorist plot that will strike at the heart of London.

outstanding as usual.

I love Stephen leathers books. and this spider shepherd is another good installment. yes we know pretty much how each book is going to end blah blah but it's the multiple stories at play and the twists and how it's believable enough so you can enjoy every moment that make them so enjoyable. plus what seals it is the narrator being just fantastic too.
I think this is my 3rd reread of the spider shepherd's after I've just finished my 4th reread of Jack nightingale series (also fantastic if your into the occult), and I've no doubt once I'm done I'll return at some point to begin all over again.

Another great story from Stephen Leather

This is an excellent narrated book by Paul Thornley, who keeps the audience captive through the superb storytelling from Stephen Leather. While each novel is outstanding in its own right, the thread between novel can be seen and therefore the reader sees and experiences the continuation of the main character.

Another excellent Spider Shepherd thriller and superbly read by Paul Thorley

Paul Thornley is a superb performer and his skill and characterisation brings the characters to life. I’m a big fan of Stephen Leather’s writing and am listening to every Spider Shepherd book and so is my wife so we listen together.

super

possibly the best so far of many excellent reads from Stephen and Paul, best narrator ever despite his dodgy irish accents and worse irish language skills 🤣

Fair Game

Of all the Spider Shepherd series this is the best one so far. Starts a little slow but stick with it because the intricate stories all come together at the end to keep you guessing. Difficult to put it down - stayed awake half the night twice
