Spider Shepherd Thrillers, Book 4

De: Stephen Leather

Narrado por: Paul Thornley

The fourth book in the best-selling Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series, from the master of the gritty action thriller Stephen Leather.

Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is used to putting his life on the line. It goes with the turf when you're an undercover cop.

Now working for the Serious Organised Crime Agency, Shepherd is pitting his wits against the toughest criminals in the country. But when the man who once saved his life is kidnapped in the badlands of Iraq, thrown into a basement and threatened with execution, Shepherd has to decide whether his loyalties lie with his country, his career or his friend.

Shepherd and his former SAS colleagues realise that the hostage has been abandoned by the government and that officially nothing is being done to rescue him. And with the execution deadline only days away, Shepherd knows that the only way to stop his friend being murdered is to put himself in the firing line in the most dangerous city in the world - Baghdad.

Disappointing ending

Really? Come on… the ending could have been a lot more elaborate; it is as if the author had to end it… facile ending…

Depressing end

Great book with terrible ending!
I don’t understand why the writer decided to kill the hostage after rescue. Totally ruined it for me!
