Publisher Description: <b>THE FIFTH BOOK IN THE <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLING SERIES BEHIND <i>SLOW HORSES</i>, AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+</b> <p/><b>Ian Fleming. John le Carré. Len Deighton. Mick Herron. The brilliant plotting of Herron's twice CWA Dagger Award-winning Slough House series of spy novels is matched only by his storytelling gift and an ear for viciously funny political satire. </b><br><b><br>"Mick Herron is the John le Carré of our generation."<b><b>--Val McDermid</b></b></b> <p/>At MI5 headquarters Regent's Park, First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the ropes the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, he's facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat's wife, a tabloid columnist, who's crucifying Whelan in print; from the PM's favorite Muslim, who's about to be elected mayor of the West Midlands, despite the dark secret he's hiding; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who's alert for Claude's every stumble. Meanwhile, the country's being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks. <p/>Over at Slough House, the MI5 satellite office for outcast and demoted spies, the agents are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. Plus someone is trying to kill Roddy Ho. But collectively, they're about to rediscover their greatest strength--that of making a bad situation much, much worse. <p/>It's a good thing Jackson Lamb knows the rules. Because those things aren't going to break themselves.
