MICK HERRON - GEBRAUCHT SLOW HORSES SLOUGH HOUS...

*Discover The Secret Hours  the gripping new thriller from Mick Herron and an unmissable read
for Slough House fans* *Now a major TV series starring Gary Oldman* '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 Spooks are supposed to be
stealthy . . . But those who make a noisy mess of their careers end up in Slough House. This is
Jackson Lamb's kingdom: a dumping ground for spies who've screwed up. Once high fliers  they're
now slow horses  condemned to a life of pushing paper as punishment for crimes of drugs and
drunkenness  lechery and failure  politics and betrayal. In drab and mildewed offices  these
highly trained spies moan and squabble  stare at the walls  and dream of better days - not one
of them joined the Intelligence Service to be a slow horse  and the one thing they have in
common is their desire to be back in the action. So when a young man is kidnapped and held
hostage  his beheading scheduled for live broadcast on the net  the slow horses aren't going to
just sit quietly and watch. And unless they can prove they're not as useless as they're thought
to be  a public execution is going to echo round the world. 'The most exciting development in
spy fiction since the Cold War' The Times 'The most enjoyable British spy novel in years' Mail
on Sunday 'The new spy master' Evening Standard
