Description
At Slough House, disgraced intelligence officers are exiled to mundane assignments under the sardonic rule of Jackson Lamb. River Cartwright, reduced to monitoring phone calls after a career-ending mistake, is drawn into a dangerous investigation when a young man is abducted and threatened with a public execution. As he pursues the case, buried connections and competing agendas force the so-called slow horses to confront the failures, rivalries, and moral compromises of the intelligence service. Sharp, darkly funny, and suspenseful, the novel blends spy-thriller intrigue with a penetrating portrait of institutional cruelty and unlikely solidarity.
