****
In Slough House, the backwater for failed spies, memories are stirring, all of them bad.
Catherine Standish is buying booze again, Louisa Guy is raking over the ashes of lost love, and new recruit Lech Wicinski, whose sins make him outcast even among the slow horses, is determined to discover who destroyed his career, even if he tears his life apart in the process.
With winter taking its grip Jackson Lamb would sooner be left brooding in peace, but even he can't ignore the dried blood on his carpets. So when the man responsible for killing a slow horse breaks cover at last, Lamb sends his crew out to even the score.
This time, they're heading into joe country. And they're not all coming home.
‘The go-to author for British espionage' Guardian

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.
