Synopsis

THE NEW MUST-READ SPIDER SHEPHERD THRILLER

The target - The Prime Minister. The assassins - hard-bitten jihadists with nothing to lose.

The only man who can stop them? Dan "Spider" Shepherd.

But Shepherd's reputation is also on the line - he helped get one of the jihadists into the UK during the final days of the War in Afghanistan.

Now he has to track down the man whose life he once saved.

But the assassins aren't lone wolf killers - someone much more devious is pulling their strings.

And the clock is ticking . . .

Goodreads review by Andy on October 05, 2023

Dirty War by Stephen Leather is number 19 in the Dan (Spider) Shepherd series and I think time is beginning to tell on the character leading to a 'been here before' feeling on the latest books.
