Slough House by Herron, Mick Format: Hardcover with Dust JacketPublished by Soho Press, 2021 In his best and most ambitious novel yet, Mick Herron, “the le Carré of the future” (BB C), offers an unsparing look at the corrupt web of media, global finance, spycraft, and politics that power our modern world. At Slough House—MI5’s London depository for demoted spies—Brexit has taken a toll. The “slow horses” have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb's crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets? With a new populist movement taking hold of London's streets and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's a dangerous place for those deemed surplus. Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
