    Broken Promises: An unputdownable Spider Shepherd thriller from the multi-million copy bestseller

    Stephen Leather

    Formats & Editions

    On a humid night in London's Chinatown, masked gunmen open fire. Within hours, a slick online manifesto claims responsibility in the name of Taiwanese independence. Beijing's fury pushes Britain toward the edge of a geopolitical crisis.

    MI5 Director Giles Pritchard is framed with a flawless deepfake video linking him to the attackers. Suspended and disgraced, he has only one ally who believes the evidence is too perfect.

    Dan "Spider" Shepherd starts digging and finds the trail leads not to extremists, but to Matthew Langford, a billionaire tech visionary who underpins Britain's digital economy.

    As Chinese warships tighten their grip around Taiwan, Shepherd realises Britain's hesitation isn't accidental - it's engineered. And someone wants him dead before he can prove it.

    In a world where wars begin with data and perception is power, Shepherd must expose the truth - before a nation sleepwalks into surrender.
