Sinopsis de Dan Shepherd Series (01 to 03)

01. Hard Landing Former SAS trooper Dan Shepherd, now a detective in an elite undercover squad, is at the center of these hard-hitting, high-action thrillers from Stephen Leather. Scalpel-sharp suspense and as gritty as the genre gets.Dan Shepherd is used to putting his life on the line. Working for an elite undercover squad, he's lied, cheated, and conned in order to bring Britain's most wanted criminals to justice. But when a powerful drug lord starts to kill off witnesses to his crimes, Shepherd has no choice but to go undercover in a high-security prison—a world where one wrong move will mean certain death. As Shepherd gambles everything to move in on his quarry, he soon realizes that the man he's hunting is far more dangerous than the police realize. And that he's capable of striking outside the prison walls and hitting Shepherd where it hurts most.Shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for Best Thriller of the Year.
02. Soft Target Just as some books are rather scathingly called "chick lit", this is the very opposite, a boy's own adventure, culminating in the story of the London terrorist bombings of recent times. Dan Sheperd is an undercover cop who is sent into all kinds of secret assignments. A former SAS member who is still coming to terms with the loss of his wife in a car accident, he is slotted into a group of SO19 police officers who handle special situation problems, but who are suspected of having a few loose cannons among their members. Dan is still operating as a so called hit man, in an effort to expose a big time mobster, whose wife conveniently wants him dead and has hired Dan in his role as hit man, to do the job. The SO19 cops who have gone bad, accept Dan into their ranks and plan their next coup against drug dealers, hoping to make some big money. The author has followed the real plot of the Muslim extremists in their plan to blow up the underground railway system in London and has included lots of technical details about the weaponry of both the police, the terrorists and their training programs. It's a good, fast read, even though it will probably appeal more to the boys.
03. Cold Kill "While investigating a crew of people-traffickers…Dan Shepherd discovers a cross-Channel currency-smuggling operation. Posing as a low-level criminal, Shepherd infiltrates the gang, befriending its London soldiers and establishing contact with the Albanian gangster who masterminds the business from his swank Paris flat. As Shepherd soon discovers, currency-smuggling isn't the only business these guys dabble in. With the help of a government contact, they've been churning out fake British passports, a scam that eventually finds Shepherd surrounded by Semtex and racing to foil a terrorist plot…The story builds to a boil as Shepherd, piecing together the terrorists' plans as he goes, lands aboard a Paris-bound Eurostar train with four suicide bombers as his fellow passengers. It's a grand finale that'll have readers on edge. Nicely, and seemingly effortlessly, done."
