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.Housed together for the first time in a beautifully crafted boxset, Mick Herron's Slough House thrillers have been described as 'The most exciting development in spy fiction since the Cold War' The Times. Includes Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Real Tigers, Spook Street, London Rules, Joe Country, Slough House and Bad Actors.Britain's finest contemporary thriller series Daily Express
