Read the brilliant books behind the classic TV series.

Spider Scott is a cat burglar with exceptional skills, now trying to stay on the right side of the law . . .

Follow the thrilling escapades of the ex-con turned government op in this action-packed and gritty classic British thriller.

Former cat burglar, Spider Scott, is finally getting his life on track. His new venture, The XYY Travel Agency, is doing well. But he can’t escape his criminal past.

First, he is called to identify a body in the Thames. Dressed in a sodden grey suit, the dead man’s feet are cemented in a concrete block. They hadn’t bothered to kill him first.

Ossie Jenkins had been a ‘creeper’ just like Spider. Could Spider be next on the killer’s list?

Then an unwelcome new client arrives at the agency. Notorious crime boss Rex Reisen doesn’t just want to book a holiday, he wants a favour. He asks Spider to break into an abandoned house — and Spider is in no position to refuse.

But the house is far from empty.

When Spider sees what’s inside, he knows he is in deep trouble . . . This time he is way out of his depth.

The next gripping espionage thriller for fans of Mick Herron, John le Carré, Mark Dawson, Tom Bradby, Len Deighton, Jeffrey Archer, Frederick Forsyth and James Mitchell.
