"A series of brilliant spy thrillers set in London and focusing on a gang of misfits and disgraced agents."
The Slow Horses/Slough House novels have gained global prominence with the award-winning Apple TV series. A series of brilliant spy thrillers set in London and focusing on a gang of misfits and disgraced agents banished to the eponymous Slough House and placed under the watchful eye of monstrous spymaster Jackson Lamb, one of the most memorable characters not just in spy fiction, but in all of contemporary fiction.
You could start with any of the nine books in the series, but my personal favourite is Bad Actors. A Downing Street operative vanishes, touching off chaos at MI5. With added helpings of Russian intelligence agency skulduggery and political chicanery. Mick Herron is a prose stylist and his brand of absurdist espionage has turned the genre on its head.
