Summary

Stephen Leather's first hard-hitting Dan 'Spider' Shepherd thriller, set in one of the most notorious and corrupt of British prisons.

Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is used to putting his life on the line. Working for an elite undercover squad, he has lied, cheated and conned in order to bring Britain's most wanted criminals to justice.

But when a powerful drugs baron starts to kill off witnesses to his crimes, Shepherd is given his most dangerous assignment yet. He has to go undercover in a top-security prison, a world where one wrong move will mean certain death.

As Shepherd gambles everything to move in on his quarry, he soon realises that the man he is hunting is even more dangerous than the police realise. And that he is capable of striking outside the prison walls and hitting Shepherd where it hurts most.

Absolutely superb

Although I’ve read many books of this type, this is the first one by this author and I’ve got to say this is probably by far the best. It doesn’t take long for the tension to start to grow and then throbs along at an amazing pace, hardly letting up at all. This book was my introduction to Stephen Leather and Spider Shepard, but the next book in the series is downloading from my wish list as we speak. The narration was tremendous, and the paused style of reading only lent to heighten the tension. A fantastic job by all involved. 5 stars every day of the week, can’t wait for the next.
