The Spear follows Harry Steadman, a former Mossad agent turned private investigator, who is pulled into a web of neo-Nazi conspiracy when a routine surveillance job unravels into something far more sinister — a shadowy organisation with apocalyptic ambitions and an ancient artefact at its dark heart. James Herbert, Britain's undisputed master of horror, crafts a taut, breathless narrative that fuses occult terror with Cold War-era paranoia, delivering a thriller that is as historically charged as it is viscerally frightening. Beneath the pulse-pounding action lies a chilling meditation on the seductive nature of power, fanaticism, and the thin line between myth and catastrophe — leaving the reader to wonder whether the greatest evil lies in the relic itself, or in those willing to kill for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160994652379,"sku":"2026200013869-SECONDHAND","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0e6938cb-b8cf-4a62-ae2b-042ab90204cb.png?v=1787188652","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013869-secondhand-the-spear","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
