At Slough House, the exiled MI5 agents known as "slow horses" are used to being ignored. But when a series of terror attacks shakes Britain, Jackson Lamb and his team find themselves pulled into the chaos. As political maneuvering collides with deadly threats, the slow horses must prove once again that even the most discarded spies can change the game.
Book 5 in Mick Herron's acclaimed Slough House series, London Rules is razor-sharp, darkly funny, and packed with biting political satire. Herron nails the mix of suspense and wit — Lamb's brutal one-liners and the series' unflinching commentary on modern intelligence are at their best here.
Trending among book lovers for its satirical take on British politics and the irresistible "misfit spies who still matter" trope. Perfect for fans of John le Carré's A Legacy of Spies and espionage with sharp political edges. Now a hit Apple TV+ series — pair with Slow Horses (#1), Real Tigers (#3), and Spook Street (#4) for a Slough House collector's set.
A paperback (2018, John Murray) in Good condition.
