But when a powerful drug lord starts to kill off witnesses to his crimes, Shepherd has no choice but to go undercover in a high-security prisona world where one wrong move will mean certain death.

And that he’s capable of striking outside the prison walls and hitting Shepherd where it hurts most. Shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for Best Thriller of the Year.
Soft Target (Spider Dan Shepherd #2):
Just as some books are rather scathingly called "chick lit", this is the very opposite, a boy’s own adventure, culminating in the story of the London terrorist bombings of recent times. Dan Sheperd is an undercover cop who is sent into all kinds of secret assignments. A former SAS member who is still coming to terms with the loss of his wife in a car accident, he is slotted into a group of SO19 police officers who handle special situation problems, but who are suspected of having a few loose cannons among their members. Dan is still operating as a so called hit man, in an effort to expose a big time mobster, whose wife conveniently wants him dead and has hired Dan in his role as hit man, to do the job. The SO19 cops who have gone bad, accept Dan into their ranks and plan their next coup against drug dealers, hoping to make some big money. The author has followed the real plot of the Muslim extremists in their plan to blow up the underground railway system in London and has included lots of technical details about the weaponry of both the police, the terrorists and their training programs. It’s a good, fast read, even though it will probably appeal more to the boys.
Cold Kill (Spider Dan Shepherd #3):
"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."
Fair Game (Spider Dan Shepherd #8):
Dan "Spider" Shepherd is working for MI5, investigating Somali pirates with links to terrorism in Britain. Meanwhile, the crew of a yacht (including the prime minister’s god-daughter) has been kidnapped by the pirates and is being held hostage in Somalia. A covert operation run by MI5 hopes to kill two birds with one stone. Shepherd will go undercover on a container ship they know will be targeted by the pirates, and hopefully will discover not only where the yacht’s hostages are being held but also the ringleaders behind the terrorist plans. At the same time though, Shepherd is being hunted down by the Real IRA. And now that he’s on the container ship his family are alone and vulnerable.
True Colours (Spider Dan Shepherd #10):
When a set of Russian oligarchs are assassinated in London, the Russian expat community become anxious. One man appeals to the British government for protection and MI5 assigns Spider Shepherd to the case. But he soon discovers that the killings aren’t political – they’re personal, and the assassin is much nearer than anyone could conceive.
And that’s not the only score Spider must settle. Asked by a group of ex-colleagues to hunt down a former Taliban tyrant who has claimed UK asylum by assisting the British government, Spider is forced to decide between his sense of justice and his job.
For as he struggles to save the life of one man, he’s on a path to extinguish another.
White Lies (Spider Dan Shepherd #11):

But when the plan goes horribly wrong, Shepherd ends up in the hands of al-Qaeda terrorists. His SAS training is of little help as his captors beat and torture him.
Shepherd’s MI5 controller Charlotte Button is determined to get her man out of harm’s way, but to do that she’s going to have to break all the rules. Her only hope is to bring in America’s finest – the elite SEALs who carried out Operation Neptune Spear – in a do-or-die operation to rescue the captives.
Black Ops (Spider Dan Shepherd #12):
Spider Shepherd’s MI5 controller, Charlie Button, has gone rogue, using government resources to get revenge on the men who killed her husband. Spider is told to betray her.

And he will have to cross the assassin, Lex Harper, currently on the trail of two Irish terrorists, who may be able to lead him to his ex-boss.
Dark Forces (Spider Dan Shepherd #13):
The thirteenth book in action supremo Stephen Leather’s Spider Shepherd series is his most pulse-pounding yet . . .
When a highly skilled IS sniper escapes from a targeted missile attack in Syria, Spider Shepherd makes sure to remember his face – which comes in handy when the same man turns up on a list of IS fighters who have already been smuggled into the UK.
But Spider’s working a different mission – posing as a hit man working for a crime family in South London, in order to eventually take them down. Then, when Spider attends a huge boxing match at a London stadium along with thousands of members of the public, he spots other IS fighters from the list in the crowds, and realizes he’s about to be caught up in a large-scale terrorist attack.
Light Touch (Spider Dan Shepherd #14):
Working undercover is all about trust – getting the target to trust you and then betraying them in order to bring them to justice. But what do you do when you believe an undercover cop has crossed the line and aligned herself with the international drugs smuggler she was supposed to be targeting? When a deep-undercover cop stops passing on intelligence about her target, MI5 sends in Dan ‘Spider’ Shepherd to check that she is on the straight and narrow. Now two lives are on the line – and Shepherd discovers that the real danger is closer to home than he realised. As Spider finds his loyalties being tested to the limit, an SAS killer is on a revenge mission in London and only Spider can stop him.
Tall Order (Spider Dan Shepherd #15):
He is one of the world’s most ruthless terrorists, codenamed Saladin. He plans and executes devastating attacks and then, ghost-like, he disappears.
Ten years ago he blew a plane out of the sky above New York – and now he’s struck again, killing dozens in a London strike.
But one of the latest victims is related to the acting head of MI5, who knows exactly who she wants on the case: Spider Shepherd.
Dean Martin, a psychologically damaged former Navy SEAL, is the only person in the world who can identify Saladin. But Martin was killed ten years ago – wasn’t he?
Short Range (Spider Dan Shepherd #16):
Dan ‘Spider’ Shepherd’s career path – soldier, policeman, MI5 officer – has always put a strain on his family. So he is far from happy to learn that MI5 is using teenagers as informants. Parents are being kept in the dark and Shepherd fears that the children are being exploited.
As an undercover specialist, Shepherd is tasked with protecting a 15-year-old schoolboy who is being used to gather evidence against violent drug dealers and a right-wing terrorist group. But when the boy’s life is threatened, Shepherd has no choice but to step in and take the heat.
And while Shepherd’s problems mount up at work, he has even greater problems closer to home. His son Liam has fallen foul of the Serbian Mafia and if Shepherd doesn’t intervene, Liam will die.
