THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A pitch-perfect espionage thriller' Sunday Times

In MI5 a scandal is brewing and there are bad actors everywhere.


A key member of a Downing Street think-tank has disappeared without a trace.

Claude Whelan, one-time First Desk of MI5's Regent's Park, is tasked with tracking her down. But the trail leads straight back to Regent's Park HQ itself, with its chief, Diana Taverner, as prime suspect. Meanwhile her Russian counterpart has unexpectedly shown up in London but has slipped under MI5's radar.

Over at Slough House, the home for demoted and embittered spies, the slow horses are doing what they do best: adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation.

In a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing is the norm, bad actors are bending the rules for their own gain. If the slow horses want to change the script, they'll need to get their own act together before the final curtain.

*Includes the short story Standing by the Wall: A Slough House Interlude*

Carry On

Another episode of unbelievable farce…. That you just can’t put down. The characters leap off the page in the brightest shades of grey which are in contrast to the darkness of the deeds by the darker players. I should really hate these books but crave more of them. Type faster Mick

Bad Actors

Love Mick Heron’s writing. Black humour shines in this one, easy dialogue that had me laughing out loud for all the right reasons at all the wrong things.
