... ARE THE MEN WHO’VE GOT THEM IN THEIR SIGHTS. 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 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. ’There’s a new breed of British crime writer giving the genre a much-needed shake-up - and Stephen Leather is at the forefront... the sheer impetus of his storytelling is damned hard to resist.’ Daily Express 'This is an aggressively topical novel but a genuinely thrilling one too.’ Daily Telegraph Have you read all Stephen Leather’s tense action thrillers? The most recent is Soft Target. All are available from Hodder. Find out more from www.stephenleather.com. While investigating a crew of people-traffickers…Dan Shepherd discovers a cross-Channel currency-smuggling operation. Posing as a low-level criminal, Shepherd infiltrates the gang, befriending its London soldiers and establishing contact with the Albanian gangster who masterminds the business from his swank Paris flat. As Shepherd soon discovers, currency-smuggling isn't the only business these guys dabble in. With the help of a government contact, they've been churning out fake British passports, a scam that eventually finds Shepherd surrounded by Semtex and racing to foil a terrorist plot…The story builds to a boil as Shepherd, piecing together the terrorists' plans as he goes, lands aboard a Paris-bound Eurostar train with four suicide bombers as his fellow passengers. It's a grand finale that'll have readers on edge. Nicely, and seemingly effortlessly, done. —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
