About this listen

The sixth book in the best-selling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series.

Mickey and Mark Moore are ordinary decent criminals - hard men who live by their own code and leaders of a gang that has made millions at the point of a gun.

But when Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is sent to infiltrate the tightly knit team of bank robbers, he discovers that he has more in common with them then he first thought. And that perhaps being a career criminal isn't the worst thing in the world.

As Shepherd and his Serious Organised Crime Agency colleagues plot the downfall of the Moore brothers, a more sinister threat stalks the streets of London. A group of home-grown Islamic fundamentalist fanatics embark on a campaign of terror the like of which Britain has never seen. Car bombs and beheadings are only the prelude of what they have planned.

And Shepherd is the only man who can stop them.

Awesome Spider

I love this series, as I guess you do, hence you are checking in here! So far this is the best in the series (6) I don’t spoil the story but you can feel the empathy once the gang start to hand out there own style of corporal punishment, “after all it is only paper”

Paul T, another great narration 👍🏻

Another great book narrated brilliantly.

I really liked this story from Stephen Leather, as part of the Spider Shepherd series. The ending was a really nice touch too.
I struggle to find narrators that are bearable across a whole book series, but Paul Thornley keeps the listener very interested.

Not the best

Not the best narration I’ve heard, in this series, from Paul Thornley but still an enjoyable listen.

Writer and Performer..perfect match!

I love Spider Shepherd, along with the Jack Nightingale books and both seies are brought to life perfectly by Paul Thornley.

Excellent performances really make the best of Stephen Leather's great story telling.

Great stuff...many thanks!

awesome

absolutely love this book! having read all the spider shepherd series multiple time this book cracks me up at times, Stephen Leather is a master story teller and keeps you gripped throughout all his books. coupled with Paul Thornleys narration (the man with 1000 voices) is outstanding to say the least!!!

I'd love to read more stories about spider and Jimmy "razor" Sharps exploits, they absolutely crack me up when they're together and I'm always doubled up at Jimmy's character 😀

Great work as always Mr Leather

The best so far !

only just got into the spider shepherd books and have got this far in a couple of weeks, brilliant stories and this one is my favourite so far, Paul Thornley is the only guy out there that could do these books justice, both him and the author are awesome 👍

Narrator?

Good listen as the others in the series. Not sure it’s Paul Thornley though? I’ve listened to loads by Paul but if it is him he’s Sounds very different. It irked me a little
