Publisher's Summary
*Now a major TV series, Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman*
'A terrific spy novel' Ian Rankin
'A modern masterpiece' Irish Times
****
Twenty years retired from the Intelligence Service, David Cartwright still knows where all the bones are buried. But when he forgets that secrets are supposed to stay hidden, there's suddenly a target on his back.
The 'Old Bastard' raised his grandson to be a hero, not a slow horse. Now, far from joining the myths and legends of Spook Street, River Cartwright is part of Jackson Lamb's team of pen-pushing no-hopers at Slough House. Which doesn't mean he won't ditch everything and go rogue when his grandfather comes under threat.
Lamb worked with Cartwright back in the day, and knows better than most that this is no innocent old man. So when a panic button raises the alarm at Intelligence Service HQ, it's Lamb who's called on to identify the body. And it's Lamb who'll do whatever's necessary to protect an agent in peril.
'Outstanding' Daily Telegraph

Brilliant - buy it now!
I’ve read one other in the Slow Horses series and the reviews of this one made me fast forward to it and I’m glad I did. Very well written and Sean Barrett does a sensational job of narration. One of the best - really brought the words to life and does justice to the writing.
Good storyline and I’m literally online now ten minutes after finishing it to buy the next one!

Laconic prose brings the binds of toil to life
Mick Herron's series is a fine read/listen for those who enjoy the illumination of the culpable character - fallen along the way into a sort of lost and found, stumbling toward deliverance of past wrongs and failings through good deeds, or at least those that will avoid iniquity.
All through a lens of acerbic wit that, at least to this Londoner, sound as close to home as Orwell and Greene, the writers as well as the poncey grocers.
Seán Barrett is consistently ace.

Always a great listen
What a great add to the series. Lamb a great character as is the other Slow Horses team. The clever twists and unfolding stories always leaves me wanting more but satisfied with what I've had. I look forward to the next installment. Sean Barrett is the only and best narrator for Mick Heron's series.

Excellent and enjoyable
Cleverly, intelligently and witty - totally engaging plot and characters. Masterfully performed - I couldn’t ask for better! Makes the Jack Reacher and clones look and sound like cartoon cutouts. I have watched the first two Slow Horses series on my streaming service and the book is totally consistent and equally engaging. I’m now hooked on the written books so will be purchasing and listening to every one in the series.

Perhaps the best book in the Slough House series so far
There are more twists and turns in this book than in a work of macramé. If you’ve read the previous books you’ll be developing real affection for the washed-up spooks of Slough House, and now it’s time for Mick Herron to shake us up with shocking events. As always Sean Barrett’s performance is absolutely superb and on song for every character.
And by the time this book comes to a conclusion you’ll be looking to download the next instalment.
