Real Tigers: Slough House Thriller 3

Product Information

Her sometimes ally – or enemy depending on which way the wind is blowing – is Peter Judd, Tory politician and grandee. The characters are all credibly flawed, their dialogue is full of understated dry wit, and there is plenty of humour, most of it very black and very British, with an abundance of laugh out loud moments.

The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged.

Her kidnapping, it’s gradually revealed, is both more and less than it seems—less, because her abductors couldn’t be more considerate, except for the one who quickly gets killed; more, because the service itself is so torn between narcissistic careerists and warring factions battling for control that its fate, and presumably that of her majesty’s government, seems to hang in the balance.

Thus compromised, Lady Di is forced to go on the run, and has to reach out to the one person she would least like to ask for help… Jackson Lamb.London: Slough House is the MI5 branch where disgraced operatives are reassigned after they've messed up too badly to be trusted with real intelligence work.

A private funding deal, worked out in secret between Diana Taverner and Peter Judd, gives the Park the resources to strike back at Putin, sending a hit team into Russia to rub out the Novichok poisoners.

Right from the first book, Herron shows he’s not afraid to kill off his creations and some of those deaths hit very hard indeed. His work has won the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel, the Steel Dagger for Best Thriller, and the Ellery Queen Readers Award, and been nominated for the Macavity, Barry, Shamus, and Theakstons Novel of the Year Awards. It brings to a close several series plots and leads to at last one emotional farewell to a series character. He won the CWA Goldsboro Gold Dagger in 2013 for Dead Lions, and it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to think he might win it again. Misdirection abounds as the Slow Horses work to save their fellow agent and thwart a devious government conspiracy .
