Synopsis
THE FIFTH BOOK IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES BEHIND SLOW HORSES, AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+Ian Fleming. John le Carré. Len Deighton. Mick Herron. The brilliant plotting of Herron&’s twice CWA Dagger Award-winning Slough House series of spy novels is matched only by his storytelling gift and an ear for viciously funny political satire. &“Mick Herron is the John le Carré of our generation.&”—Val McDermidAt MI5 headquarters Regent&’s Park, First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the ropes the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, he&’s facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat&’s wife, a tabloid columnist, who&’s crucifying Whelan in print; from the PM&’s favorite Muslim, who&’s about to be elected mayor of the West Midlands, despite the dark secret he&’s hiding; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who&’s alert for Claude&’s every stumble. Meanwhile, the country&’s being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks. Over at Slough House, the MI5 satellite office for outcast and demoted spies, the agents are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. Plus someone is trying to kill Roddy Ho. But collectively, they&’re about to rediscover their greatest strength—that of making a bad situation much, much worse.It&’s a good thing Jackson Lamb knows the rules. Because those things aren&’t going to break themselves.
