Book: Slough House, by Mick Herron
At Slough House, Brexit has taken a toll. The slow horses have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb’s crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets?

Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death.

But keeping a secret among spies is a fool's errand, and now John has made himself eminently blackmailable.
