This gripping thriller follows Dan 'Spider' Shepherd as he races against time to rescue his son and confront a dangerous terrorist plot in Clean Kill.
In Clean Kill, the tension escalates as a British helicopter is shot down in the volatile region of West Africa, and the crew is taken hostage by terrorists. With their lives hanging in the balance, the British government stands firm, refusing to negotiate with the kidnappers. The story centers around pilot Liam Shepherd, whose only hope lies in the hands of his father, Dan 'Spider' Shepherd, a seasoned MI5 agent. The stakes are high as time runs out for Liam and his fellow captives.
As Dan Shepherd assembles an elite SAS team, they embark on a perilous mission to rescue the hostages from the dangerous terrain of Mali. However, the operation is fraught with complications, drawing Dan away from a critical investigation at a high-security prison that is on the brink of chaos. With hundreds of lives at risk, Dan must navigate the challenges of both the rescue mission and the looming threat of prison violence, all while racing against the clock.
Clean Kill is an action-packed thriller that immerses readers in a world of high-stakes rescue missions and intricate espionage. Stephen Leather masterfully weaves together suspense and excitement, ensuring that readers are on the edge of their seats as they follow Dan Shepherd’s relentless pursuit to save his son and uncover the truth behind the unfolding crisis.
Praise for Stephen Leather
Stephen Leather writes really exciting action thrillers. It's like being there yourself -- Chris Ryan, author of Zero 22
The fast-paced action scenes are expertly choreographed; the description of settings - from the luxurious bars where Ankara's gangsters gather, to Dubai's glittering skyscrapers - is brisk and richly detailed. Leather knows the inner workings of the security services. But beyond the enthralling storyline he also asks some tough questions about contemporary Britain - without preaching. * Financial Times *
