This thriller starts as it means to go on, the first few pages are
a jolting introduction to the dangerous story of undercover cop Dan
"Spider" Shepherd taking on a new case. Having given up the SAS to
spend more time with his wife and son, "Spider" is now working for
an elite undercover squad and is determined to put the world to
rights. He's put under lock and key in the same jail as a notorious
drugs baron who is attempting to squirm his way out of his upcoming
trial. The villainous fiend has more influence on the outside than
anyone predicts and "Spider" becomes ensnared into prison existence
putting both his family and colleagues at risk. One is drawn into
the story in a powerful way and due to the fast paced action the
phrase 'a real page turner' was made for this book. Stephen Leather
has written for television shows such as London's Burning and
Murder in Mind and Hard Landing is his 15th novel. (Kirkus UK)
The first book in the bestselling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series. 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.
