Dan 'Spider' Shepherd returns in the third stunning action thriller from bestselling author Stephen Leather.

Even deadlier than terrorists . . . are the men trying to stop them.

People-smuggling, counterfeit currency and attempted murder. It's all in a day's work for undercover cop Dan 'Spider' Shepherd. But what starts as a run-of-the mill investigation quickly turns into a matter of life and death when he uncovers a terrorist cell on a mission of death and destruction. The target: hundreds of passengers on a cross-channel train deep below the English Channel.

With the clock ticking and the explosives primed, Shepherd and his colleagues have to decide just how far they are prepared to go to save innocent lives. And they realise that to avoid catastrophe, they have to be even more merciless than the terrorists.

Critic reviews

An author who isn't afraid to tackle the new breed of crime that dominates today's headlines.
A breathless, exciting narrative with exquisite pacing.
This is an aggressively topical novel but a genuinely thrilling one, too.
Authentic stuff.

another great one. better than all previous! I have about given up on all books and genres. so much the same and so unengaging, so predictable. This series has me wrapped! so good. only complaint is the sudden changes scenes. no warning or 'capter...' just drop in on new scene, but the greatness of these books makes me disregard it.

OMF...WOW surprised not more great reviews

Action packed and the narrator does a great job except for his painful American accent. Takes time to not cringe each time he transitions into it.

Great Story

This is an intense one, full of suspense and gore. It is very well narrated.

This kept me on the edge

Narrator breathing bothers me, taking loud breaths before speaking is damn distracting. Story is phenomenal.

Great syncopated story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I very much enjoyed The Chinaman, which was made into the movie called The Foreigner. it was tight, interesting and informative.

This story is not of that caliber. it's unfocused, full of stock moments, and not very believable. Our main character -- a policeman -- doesn't seem to have ever met a criminal he doesn't like; as smugglers, counterfeiters, etc, get his sympathy and understanding and are "good people" in his telling.

On a positive note: The reading was well done.

A strange world Stephen Leather creates here
