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.
HM Prisons are in dire need of reform. And no one is more qualified to help the Royal Commission than ex-con Spider Scott. It’s the perfect opportunity for him to finally become respectable.
The chairman, Peter Thresher, invites everyone to his exquisite country home for the weekend. But Spider’s good intentions are soon out the window when he innocently stumbles across Thresher’s private treasure trove.
A miniature frame catches his eye, glittering with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds . . . the exact frame he’d previously nicked.

The more Spider digs, the clearer it is that Thresher’s fortune is built on lies and deceit . . . and this powerful establishment figure will do anything to protect his reputation . . . including murder?

MEET WILLIAM ‘SPIDER’ SCOTT
William ‘Spider’ Scott is a skilled ‘creeper’ (AKA cat burglar) and occasional British government operative. He’s recently completed a short stint at Dartmoor prison during which it was discovered that he has an extra Y chromosome. Scientists believe that having an extra Y chromosome is the reason why he’s drawn to a life of crime. Fascinated by this discovery, they worked on him during his imprisonment, and, by the time he is a free man, he is supposedly ‘cured’. Surrounded by his girlfriend Maggie and brother Dick, Spider desperately tries to lead an honest life. Until an intriguing stranger makes him an offer he can’t refuse . . .
