Overview
Discover the dark comedy and razor-sharp intrigue of Mick Herron's Slough House series, the phenomenon behind Apple TV+'s Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman. This complete 8-book paperback set follows MI5's washed-up "slow horses" as they're dragged from paperwork purgatory into some of Britain's most dangerous conspiracies. Witty and unflinchingly modern, Herron's espionage saga draws comparisons to John le Carré while carving its own voice.
About the Books
Beginning with Slow Horses, we meet Jackson Lamb's misfit team of failed spies, condemned to paper-pushing purgatory for crimes ranging from drunkenness to catastrophic professional error. In Dead Lions, a former spook turns up dead on a bus, dragging Lamb back into a Cold War-era conspiracy. Real Tigers sees one of the slow horses kidnapped, forcing Lamb's crew into a reckless raid on the Intelligence Service's own headquarters. Spook Street exposes old secrets when retired agent David Cartwright becomes a target after forgetting the first rule of spycraft: some things must stay buried. London Rules throws new First Desk Claude Whelan into chaos as a wave of attacks threatens the Prime Minister, while Regent's Park's rivalries boil over. Joe Country stirs painful memories for the team as old wounds resurface amid a deadly winter chase across the Welsh mountains. Slough House finds the crumbling office erased from official records altogether, leaving the slow horses dangerously exposed and unprotected. Finally, Bad Actors unravels a Downing Street scandal when a key think-tank figure vanishes, pulling Lamb's team into a web of political manipulation and betrayal. Together, these eight novels form one of the most acclaimed spy series of the century, packed with dark humour and razor-sharp plotting that has earned Herron comparisons to the genre's greats.
