Slough House

Erased. The seventh installment of Mick Herron’s series featuring the MI5 spies who are surplus to requirements is titled after the series, Slough House. Strong satire bites sharply on these pages, as news is manipulated, and MI5 has been used for private purposes. Internal politics has led to the erasure of Slough House in the MI5 records. Jackson Lamb, however, knows how to play an inside game. Amid deaths, diversions, lies and power grabs, Lamb finds a path toward survival for him and for most of the Slough House rejects.
