*Pre-order Clown Town  the ninth novel in Mick Herron's Slough House series  now*    *Now an

'The most exciting development in spy fiction since the Cold War' The Times    '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 enjoyable British spy novel in years' Mail on Sunday    'The new spy master' Evening
Standard
