In MI5 a scandal is brewing and there are bad actors everywhere.
A key member of a Downing Street think-tank has disappeared without a trace.
Claude Whelan, one-time First Desk of MI5's Regent's Park, is tasked with tracking her down. But the trail * leads straight back to Regent's Park HQ itself, with its chief, Diana Taverner, as prime suspect. Meanwhile her Russian counterpart has unexpectedly shown up in London but has slipped under MI5's radar.
Over at Slough House, the home for demoted and embittered spies, the slow horses are doing what they do best: adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation.
In a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing is the norm, bad actors are bending the rules for their own gain. If the slow horses want to change the script, they'll need to get their own act together before the final curtain.
*Includes the short story Standing by the Wall: A Slough House Interlude*

Slough House Book 1: Slough House, a dumping ground for spies who've screwed up through drunkenness, ineptitude, and betrayal. Once high fliers, they're now * slow horses, and the one thing they have in common is their desire to be back in the action. Slough House Book 2: Dickie Bow is not an obvious target * for assassination but being dead doesn’t mean you can’t tell secrets. When a message is found on Dickie’s phone, hinting that a Soviet sleeper op is being run, the slow horses go live. Slough House Book 3: When one of their own is kidnapped, the slow horses must outwit rogue agents at the highest levels of British Intelligence, and even Downing Street itself, to get her back. Slough House Book 4: Retired from the Intelligence Service, David Cartwright – grandfather to a slow horse – knows where the bodies are buried. But when he forgets that secrets are supposed to stay hidden, there’s suddenly a target * on his back.
