Overview
Step into the murky, wickedly funny world of British espionage with the Slough House series by Mick Herron, the multi-award-winning thriller writer behind the hit Apple TV+ show Slow Horses. This brand new 8-book paperback collection follows the "slow horses" - disgraced MI5 agents banished to a crumbling backwater office - as they stumble, scheme and occasionally triumph their way through Britain's most dangerous secrets. Sharp and addictive, these novels redefine the modern spy thriller.
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.
