<b><u>*NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES STARRING GARY OLDMAN*</u></b> <br> <br> Spooks are supposed to be stealthy . . . But those who make a noisy mess of their careers end up in Slough House. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Includes <i> Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Real Tigers, Spook Street, London Rules, Joe Country, Slough House </i>and <i>Bad Actors.</i> <br><br><b>About the Author</b><br><br> <br><br><b>About the Author</b><br><br> Mick Herron is the #1 <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of the <i>Slough House</i> thrillers, which have won the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year award, two CWA Daggers, been published in twenty-five languages, and are the basis of a major TV series starring Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb.
