This is by far the best book yet from Stephen Leather, and I have read them all!!
This book races along from the very first page with very little 'descriptive' padding.
It is about three new police recruits in London who find that their first day at the Hendon training centre is cancelled and they are 'recruited' as undercover police officers with a long term aim of capturing the biggest drug baron - Den Donovan.
I found all of the characters believable and interesting. In fact, this is the best book I've read for ages and I read a lot of books!

This is the first book that I have read of Stephen Leather's and I am sure to be reading more! The action and intrigue grips right from the start of the book - I couldn't put it down.
Leather had me feeling sorry for the bad guy and at the same wondering what the good guys were really up to and if they were going to surface. Which were which again?
Three new police recruits are taken out of the routine training programme and put into undercover work. Their aim: to infiltrate (and hopefully take down) one of the world's biggest drugs barron, Den Donovan.
But Donovan has problems of his own to worry about.
A brilliant novel with plenty of detail, but not too much to get bogged down in. I highly recommend to anyone who loves the thrill of a great page turner!

This has to be Leather's best yet, a hard-edged tale of an operation to bring down an international drugs dealer who is struiggling with problems on the personal front including a wayward wife who has stolen $60 million from him. The book just cries out to be made into a film. I couldn't put it down, and just hope that Leather's planning a sequel.

Interesting idea which loses some steam towards the end
I've become fan of Stephen Leather and this book was centred on an interesting idea and raised some compelling questions about drugs, morlaity and many associated issues. Read more

I read this book when I was 14. I read it for hours every day and finished it in five days, which was a personal record for a book of this size. Very cleverly written.

Good story, poorly told
Don't waste your money. This is a good plot and that might keep you turning the pages, mainly to find out if the author has figured out how to fill out the characters and develop... Read more
