About this listen

The 15th thriller in the Spider Shepherd series promises even more enthralling action from the Sunday Times best seller Stephen Leather.

He is one of the world's most ruthless terrorists, codenamed Saladin. He plans and executes devastating attacks, and then, ghostlike, 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 10 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....

Critic Reviews

"As tough as British thrillers get...gripping." (Irish Independent)

"The sheer impetus of his storytelling is damned hard to resist." (Sunday Express)

Stephen Leather never disappoints, I enjoy the Sheperd series and Nightingale series and his stand alones as well. This book seems to have a lot of descriptions of "home grown" terrorists. I agree it is disturbing and a great disappointment for host countries where values are not shared.

Another good book
