From the bestselling author of the Spider Shepherd and Jack
Nightingale series comes First Response, the utterly addictive new
thriller by Stephen Leather. London is under siege. Nine men in
suicide vests primed to explode hold hostages in nine different
locations around the city, and are ready to die for their cause.
Their mission: to force the government to release jihadist
prisoners from Belmarsh Prison. Their deadline: 6 p.m. Today. But
the bombers are cleanskins, terrorists with no obvious link to any
group, and who do not appear on any anti-terror watch list. What
has brought them together on this one day to act in this way? Mo
Kamran is the Superintendent in charge of the Special Crime and
Operations branch of the Met. As the disaster unfolds and the SAS,
armed police, and other emergency services rush to the scenes, he
is tasked with preventing the biggest terrorist outrage the capital
has ever known. But nothing is what it seems. And only Kamran has
the big picture. Will anyone believe him? A chillingly plausible
and pulse-pounding depiction of how London might be held to ransom
in a concerted terrorist attack: this is thriller writing at its
very best.
