Dan "Spider" Shepherd is used to putting his life on the line. As a detective working for an elite undercover squad he has lied, cheated and conned in order to bring Britain's most wanted criminals to justice.
But when a powerful drugs baron starts to kill off witnesses to his crimes, Shepherd is given his most dangerous assignment yet. He has to go undercover in a top security prison, a world where one wrong move will mean certain death.
Corrupt prison officers, lifers with nothing to lose, and hard men with something to prove are all gunning for Shepherd. The only way for him to survive is to play his role to perfection, twenty-four hours a day, among criminals for whom violence is a way of life.
But as Shepherd gambles everything to move in on his quarry, he soon discovers that the man he is hunting is even more dangerous than the police realise. And that he is capable of striking outside the prison walls and hitting Shepherd where it hurts most.
Breakneck in pace and uncompromisingly authentic, 'Hard Landing' is Stephen Leather's fifteenth thriller.
