‘Stephen Leather writes really exciting action thrillers. It’s like being there yourself’ CHRIS RYAN, AUTHOR OF Zero 22
‘The fast-paced action scenes are expertly choreographed; the description of settings – from the luxurious bars where Ankara’s gangsters gather, to Dubai’s glittering skyscrapers – is brisk and richly detailed’ FINANCIAL TIMES

Someone within the security services has been working to their own agenda, and only Dan ‘Spider’ Shepherd can identify the bad apple. His search for the rogue agent takes him to Turkey and then to Dubai, where his masters order him to carry out a breathtaking act of revenge.
