Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice. Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk. Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero-if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.

The death of Tom Bettany's estranged 26-year-old son brings him back to London. His return sparks the interest of everyone from mobsters to MI5 officers--he may have thought he left his old life as a spy behind, but nobody just walks away. 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.

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

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.

Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up a case in any number of ways-by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance.

When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself. Is the victim who he first appears to be? And what's the kidnappers' connection with a disgraced journalist? As the clock ticks on the execution, River finds that everyone has his own agenda.

Caballos lentos (Serie Jackson Lamb 1)
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

Tigres de verdad (Serie Jackson Lamb 3)
Más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos del «mejor thriller de todos los tiempos» según The Times. En breve, gran estreno de la serie en televisión/Apple TV+, con Gary Oldman como protagonista. Cuando secuestran a un miembro de su grupo y les exigen un rescate, los agentes de la Casa de la Ciénaga se ven obligados a superar todos los pronósticos sobre su competencia para burlar las férreas medidas de seguridad de la oficina central de inteligencia del MI5 y robar información valiosa como moneda de cambio para salvar a su colega. Sin embargo, ese incidente no es más que la punta del iceberg de una conspiración a gran escala, en la que no solo está implicada una banda que trabaja por libre, sino también el estamento más alto del servicio secreto. Tras años condenados a realizar tareas burocráticas, los caballos lentos se encuentran en medio de un complot que amenaza con dinamitar el futuro de la Casa de la Ciénaga y del propio MI5. La crítica ha dicho... «El nuevo rey de los thrillers de espías.» Mail on Sunday «Una prosa afilada, unos personajes plenamente definidos y un pathos subyacente convierten a esta serie en la creación más emocionante de la narrativa de espías desde la Guerra Fría.» The Times «Como maestro del ingenio, la sátira y la perspicacia [...] es complicado no sobrevalorar a Herron.» The Daily Telegraph «Una escritura irresistible.» The Financial Times «Una crónica satírica de la Gran Bretaña moderna [...]. Divertidos e impactantes, los libros de Herron reflejan a su modo la trayectoria de la nación.» The Economist «Una serie que está muy cerca de la cima. [...] Un buen escritor, glorioso en cada frase, excelso en cada diálogo.» Literary Review «Inteligente, mordaz y extraordinariamente divertida.» The Observer «Espléndido. [...] Cuando el ojo satírico y la sensibilidad cómica de Herron se despliegan con toda su fuerza recuerda al primer Tom Sharpe.» The Irish Times «Herron no busca ser John le Carré, el suyo es un estilo más ingenioso, más irónico; también más vigoroso, más realista, con una prosa recia que te agarra por la garganta.» Daily Mail
