The second hard-hitting action thriller featuring undercover policeman Dan 'Spider' Shepherd.
Set your sights on a bestseller with this hard-hitting action thriller featuring undercover policeman Dan Shepherd.
There's only one thing more dangerous than a corrupt cop... and that's a corrupt cop with a gun. When a group of armed police in an elite unit turn maverick and start to rip off drug dealers at gunpoint, undercover cop Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is given his most dangerous mission so far.
Shepherd is ordered to infiltrate the tight-knit team, to gain their confidence and to ultimately betray them. Facing men with guns is nothing new for the former SAS trooper, but it's the first time he's had to investigate his own. And the job couldn't have come at a worse time for him.
As Shepherd finds himself in deeper than ever, the tension escalates in Stephen Leather's Soft Target.
