'Sets a new bar for spy fiction' Financial Times

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.

'To have been lucky enough to play Smiley in one's career; and now go and play Jackson Lamb in Mick Herron's novels - the heir, in a way, to le Carré - is a terrific thing' Gary Oldman

Slough House is the outpost where disgraced spies are banished to see out the rest of their derailed careers. Known as the 'slow horses' these misfits have committed crimes of drugs and drunkenness, lechery and failure, politics and betrayal while on duty.

In this drab and mildewed office these highly trained spies don't run ops, they push paper. Not one of them joined the Intelligence Service to be a slow horse and the one thing they have in common is they want to be back in the action.

If life in the Intelligence Service has taught John Bachelor anything, it's to keep his head down. Especially now, when he's living rent-free in a dead spook's flat.

So he's not delighted to be woken at dawn by a pair of Regent's Park's heavies, looking for a client he's not seen in years. John doesn't know what secrets Benny Manors has stolen, but they're attracting the wrong attention. And if he's to save his own skin, not to mention safeguard his living arrangements, John has to find Benny before those secrets see the light.

Benny could be anywhere, provided it serves alcohol. So John sets out on a reluctant trawl through the bars of the capital, all the while plagued by the age-old questions: Will he end up sleeping in his car? How many bottles of gin can he afford at London prices?

And just how far will Regent's Park go to prevent anyone rocking the Establishment's boat?

His grandson, River, is a 'slow horse', a demoted spy pushing paper at Slough House with other no-hopers. With his grandfather under threat, River ditches desk duty and goes rogue to investigate.

Catherine Standish knows that chance encounters never happen to spooks.

She's worked in the Intelligence Service long enough to understand treachery, double-dealing and stabbing in the back.

What she doesn't know is why anyone would target her: a recovering drunk pushing paper with the other lost causes in Jackson Lamb's kingdom of exiles at Slough House.

Whoever it is holding her hostage, it can't be personal. It must be about Slough House. Most likely, it is about Jackson Lamb.

And say what you like about Lamb, he'll never leave a joe in the lurch.

He might even be someone you could trust with your life . . .

'A pitch-perfect espionage thriller' Sunday Times

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.

'The man is a genius' The Spectator

La cuarta entrega de la multipremiada serie que ha renovado las novelas de espías y ha vendido más de un millón de libros.

En breve, gran estreno de la serie en televisión/Apple TV+, con Gary Oldman como Jackson Lamb.

¿Qué ocurre cuando un viejo espía como David Cartwright pierde la cabeza? ¿Alguien se ocupa de esos agentes que atesoran información reservada, pero que no recuerdan que lo es? Son algunas de las preguntas a las que su nieto River, miembro del equipo de Jackson Lamb y sus «caballos lentos», los proscritos del servicio secreto británico, quiere responder ahora que su abuelo, un mito de la Guerra Fría y figura legendaria del MI5, empieza a olvidarse de las cosas. Durante un tiempo, Jackson Lamb trabajó con el antiguo agente y sabe que éste no es ningún octogenario indefenso, sino el responsable de muchas muertes por omisión, sacrificio o liquidación directa. Y es a Lamb a quien llaman para que identifique el cuerpo sin vida descubierto en casa de David Cartwright, mientras una bomba ha estallado en un centro comercial y los caballos lentos de la Casa de la Ciénaga deben actuar antes de que todo se agrave.

Ganadora del Ian Fleming Steel Award, La calle de los espías es la cuarta entrega de la multipremiada serie sobre Jackson Lamb y sus caballos lentos que ha cautivado a más de un millón de lectores. Una novela de prosa brillante, humor sardónico y ritmo vertiginoso que confirma a Mick Herron como «el nuevo rey de los thrillers de espías» (Mail on Sunday).

La crítica ha dicho...
«Una novela de espías fantástica: diálogos sublimes y un argumento sin fisuras».
Ian Rankin

«Antes de que la Historia resucitara la Guerra Fría y los espías, ya lo había hecho Mick Herron, con sentido del humor y talento para agradar tanto al que busca evasión sin que le falten al respeto, como a aquel que busca la dignidad de la parodia de las novelas de espías. [...] Una advertencia: si pruebas uno de la serie, vas a seguir probando todos los demás.»
Carlos Zanón, La Vanguardia

«Herron se consolida como una de las grandes voces del género de espías con su cuarta novela.»
El Periódico

«Mick Herron tiene el ojo de un poeta para el detalle significativo, domina los tiempos de la comedia y no renuncia a las escenas de violencia».
The Daily Telegraph

«El personalísimo estilo del autor es único en su género».
The Financial Times

«El nuevo rey de los thrillers de espías».
Mail on Sunday

«Un experto a la hora de combinar las situaciones más absurdas con unos diálogos muy divertidos y una prosa exquisita y punzante».
The Times

«Herron es un maestro de los tiempos, y lo demuestra palabra a palabra, frase a frase. Su lenguaje logra crear un mundo propio, con unas notas de sátira y de amargura que consiguen que el resultado final ni por asomo resulte previsible».
The Spectator

«Evoca de forma espléndida la atmósfera (marcada por el hastío y el cinismo) imperante en un servicio de inteligencia en horas bajas, peroque sigue
