Book description
The ninth all-action thriller in the bestselling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd
series. The most wanted man in the world is dead. Now those loyal to him
seek revenge. When Navy Seals track down and kill Osama Bin Laden in
Pakistan, it's obvious there was a traitor on the inside. After the
false friends are revealed to be two British students, Malik and
Chaudhry - former Islamic fundamentalists recruited by MI5 - they become
targets themselves. Dan 'Spider' Shepherd must teach the pair how to
survive undercover with al-Qaeda closing in. But Spider is not used to
playing the handler. And with the line between mentor and friend
beginning to blur, and a terrorist plot putting thousands of lives at
stake, can he protect everyone before it's too late?
'In brisk newsman's style he explores complex contemporary issues
while keeping the action fast and bloody.'
