The Slough House team, past and present, are back in the ninth full-length outing for the crew of hapless has-been spies. For those new to the series (where have you been?) Mick Herron has invented an office situated in a rundown building in London where M15 agents who have washed out for one reason or another are sent to spend their days doing pointless busywork under the direction of the gaseous and crude Jackson Lamb, who berates them regularly but would never, ever betray them. Here, the old gang comes together – those who are still alive – to do something counter-intuitive, to save the life of a man who they despise.
