Caballos lentos (Serie Jackson Lamb 1) Audiobook

Llegan Mick Herron y su multipremiada serie protagonizada por Jackson Lamb para modernizar, con brillantez y humor, el género del espionaje. En breve, gran estreno de la serie en televisión/Apple TV+, con Gary Oldman como protagonista. «La mejor serie de novela negra del siglo XXI.» The Mail on Sunday El reino del irreverente y sarcástico Jackson Lamb está en Londres y se llama Casa de la Ciénaga, un vertedero al que van a parar los miembros de los servicios secretos que han cometido un error, ya sea olvidar un documento en un tren, despistarse en una ronda de vigilancia o volverse poco fiables a causa del alcohol. Sus colegas los denominan «caballos lentos», son los parientes pobres del espionaje británico y todos comparten las ganas de salir de allí a cualquier precio y volver ala acción. De este extravagante grupo de proscritos, el más desengañado es River Cartwright, que se pasa el día transcribiendo conversaciones interceptadas de teléfonos móviles. Sin embargo, cuando se produce el secuestro de un joven y los autores amenazan con decapitarlo en directo por internet, River ve en este acto una oportunidad para redimirse. ¿La víctima es quien parece ser? ¿Y qué relación guardan los secuestradores con ese periodista caído en desgracia que los caballos lentos investigan? Mientras suena el tictac que nos acerca al plazo establecido para la ejecución, River descubre que cada uno de los implicados tiene intereses ocultos, y si los caballos lentos no espabilan, el eco del crimen se difundirá por todo el mundo. Elogiada por The Mail on Sunday como «la novela británica de espías más satisfactoria en muchos años» y considerada por The Daily Telegraph como «una de las veinte mejores novelas de espías de todos los tiempos», Caballos lentos es la primera entrega de la multipremiada serie protagonizada por Jackson Lamb, un personaje que dejará huella por su temeridad y su afilada lengua. La crítica ha dicho... «El nuevo maestro de la novela de espías.» The Sunday Times «Una historia divertida, elegante, satírica y vertiginosa.» The Guardian «El mejor escritor de novelas de espías de nuestro tiempo.» The Daily Telegraph «Una obra maestra del género. [...] Un thriller que acerca a Herron a la categoría de Graham Greene.» Daily Mail «La sátira, la esgrima verbal y los tiroteos se combinan con destreza en una novela de una escritura excelente, teñida por el sentido del humor de Herron: sarcástico, seco y muy inglés.» The Sunday Times

Dead Lions

London's Slough House is where the washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what's left of their failed careers. The "slow horses," as they're called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated here. Maybe they messed up an op badly and can't be trusted anymore. Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle-not unusual in this line of work. One thing they all have in common, though, is they all want to be back in the action. And most of them would do anything to get there-even if it means having to collaborate with one another. Now the slow horses have a chance at redemption. An old Cold War-era spy is found dead on a bus outside Oxford, far from his usual haunts. The despicable, irascible Jackson Lamb is convinced Dickie Bow was murdered. As the agents dig into their fallen comrade's circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets that seem to lead back to a man named Alexander Popov, who is either a Soviet bogeyman or the most dangerous man in the world. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried? "The narrative picks up real steam and becomes genuinely thrilling. The novel is equally noteworthy for its often lyrical prose."-Publisher's Weekly

Leones muertos (Serie Jackson Lamb 2)

Leones muertos vuelve a poner en solfa a los agentes del MI5 apartados del cuerpo, que, sin pretenderlo, se topan con células durmientes y espías famosos de la Guerra Fría.

Los agentes de la Casa de la Ciénaga, donde los mandos del servicio de inteligencia británico envían a los espías caídos en desgracia, reciben el encargo de proteger a un oligarca ruso de visita en el país que el MI5 pretende alistar en sus filas. Mientras dos agentes son enviados al trabajo de vigilancia, Dickie Bow, un antiguo espía de la época de la Guerra Fría, es hallado muerto en los asientos traseros de un autobús en las afueras de Oxford. Y aunque todos los indicios apuntan a un fulminante ataque al corazón, Jackson Lamb, el jefe de la casa de la Ciénaga, está convencidode que Dickie Bow ha sido asesinado. Porque si has sido espía, lo eres para siempre, y Dickie era un veterano de la información, cuyo trabajo en el Berlín de los años de plomo lo consagró como un agente excepcional. Así, cuando Jackson Lamb y sus hombres, sus 'caballos lentos', empiezan a investigar, ponen al descubierto una oscura maraña de secretos de la Guerra Fría que parece conducir a Alexander Popov, una antigua leyenda soviética o quién sabe si el hombre más peligroso del mundo. ¿Cuántos muertos más se necesitan para mantener esos secretos ocultos? La crítica ha dicho... «Ingeniosa, inteligente, emocionante. [...] Remarcable por su prosa evocativa.» Publishers Weekly «Deliciosa. [...] Con una ironía que recuerda a Graham Greene y Evelyn Waugh.» The Sunday Times «Inteligente y divertida.» The Times «Una parodia inteligente y sarcástica de las novelas clásicas de espías británicas.» Crime Writer'sAssociation «Melancólica y trepidante.» Kirkus Reviews «Un elegante thriller y un sarcástico, feroz e incisivo relato sobre la avidez política y la corrupción burocrática.» Open Letters Monthly «Una surrealista, cínica y humorística mirada al mundo de la Inteligencia británica. Una trama sinuosa y divertida que lleva a los lectores muy lejos del glamuroso mundo de los espías.» January Magazine

London Rules

The fifth entry in the CWA Gold Dagger-winning Slough House series featuring Jackson Lamb London Rules might not be written down, but everyone knows rule one: Cover your arse. At MI5 headquarters Regent's Park, First Desk Claude Whelan is learning this the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, he's facing attack from all directions himself: 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. 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.

Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France when he gets the voicemail from an English woman he doesn't know telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is dead. Liam was smoking dope on his London balcony when he fell. Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago, Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about his son's death. It may be the guilt he feels about losing touch with his son that's gnawing at him, or maybe he has actually put his finger on a labyrinthine plot, but either way he is going to get to the bottom of the tragedy, no matter whose feathers he has to ruffle. But there are many people who are interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from incarcerated mob bosses to the highest echelons of MI5.
