DescriptionIan Fleming. John le Carr . Len Deighton. Mick Herron. The brilliant plotting of Herrons 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 Carr of our generation. --Val McDermid At MI5 headquarters Regents Park, First Desk Claude Whelan is learning this the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, hes 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 showboats wife, a tabloid columnist, whos crucifying Whelan in print; from the PMs favorite Muslim, whos about to be elected mayor of the West Midlands, despite the dark secret hes hiding; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, whos alert for Claudes every stumble. Meanwhile, the countrys 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, theyre about to rediscover their greatest strength--that of making a bad situation much, much worse. Its a good thing Jackson Lamb knows the rules. Because those things arent going to break themselves.About the AuthorMick Herron is a British novelist and short-story writer who was born in Newcastle and studied English at Oxford.
