Ian Fleming. John le CarrĂ©. Len Deighton. Mick Herron. The brilliant plotting of Herronâs 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.
âMick Herron is the John le CarrĂ© of our generation.ââVal McDermid
At MI5 headquarters Regentâs Park, First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the ropes the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, heâs 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 showboatâs wife, a tabloid columnist, whoâs crucifying Whelan in print; from the PMâs favorite Muslim, whoâs about to be elected mayor of the West Midlands, despite the dark secret heâs hiding; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, whoâs alert for Claudeâs every stumble. Meanwhile, the countryâs 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, theyâre about to rediscover their greatest strengthâthat of making a bad situation much, much worse.
Itâs a good thing Jackson Lamb knows the rules. Because those things arenât going to break themselves.
