You don't stop being a spook just because you're no longer in the game.

Banished to Slough House from the ranks of achievers at Regent's Park for various crimes of drugs and drunkenness, lechery and failure, politics and betrayal, Jackson Lamb's misfit crew of highly trained joes don't run ops, they push paper.

But not one of them joined the Intelligence Service to be a 'slow horse'.

A boy is kidnapped and held hostage. His beheading is scheduled for live broadcast on the net.

And whatever the instructions of the Service, the slow horses aren't going to just sit quiet and watch . . .

Started off a bit slow (no pun intended) but once it got going, it really had me hooked. Great characters - all a bit seemingly weird and flawed but sort of thrown in together at the deep end. Great story line filled with intrigues, bluffs, counter intrigues and counter bluffs - just like a good spy story should and the story so close to the bone and current political climate - pretty good stuff !! Looking forward to reading more about the Slow Horses !

Caught at Old Gang meetup. Thanks.

Read but not enjoyed by my partner - “it didn’t get going for me until the last 40 pages”. I decided to pass.
