Stephen Leather - Direct Action: The 23rd Spider Shepherd Thriller [Paperback]

Direct Action: The 23rd Spider Shepherd Thriller

When the British justice system buckles under the weight of lenient judges and sharp-suited defense lawyers, a shadowy vigilante group known as the New Crusaders steps in, delivering their own brand of punishment live across social media. Caught in the middle is MI5 agent Dan 'Spider' Shepherd, tasked with shutting them down. However, Shepherd soon uncovers a conspiracy far more sinister: the Crusaders are being manipulated by hidden forces aiming to tear the country apart. If Shepherd fails, the collapse won't just be the rule of law—it will be the country itself.
