The 12th heart-pounding thriller in Stephen Leather's best-selling Spider Shepherd series. In what could be his highest-profile mission ever, Dan 'Spider' Shepherd is called in to prevent the assassination of a head of state on British soil.

Spider owes his life to Button - but this discovery will stretch his loyalty to the limit...
