Dickie Bow is not an obvious target for assassination.

But once a spook, always a spook. And Dickie was a talented streetwalker back in the day, before he turned up dead on a bus. A shadow. Good at following people, bringing home their secrets.

Dickie was in Berlin with Jackson Lamb. Now Lamb's got his phone, and on it the last secret Dickie ever told, and reason to believe an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in the Service's back-yard.

In the Intelligence Service purgatory that is Slough House, Jackson Lamb's crew of back-office no-hopers is about to go live . .

2nd in series

I’m getting into these now. Clever, gripping spy thriller.

Going into Crime and Mystery BookBox.

Taken out of the bookbox. I read the first in the series " Dead horses" which I enjoyed but somehow never managed to hunt for more installments, so here's my chance now ! Thank you

Excellent read but you have to have your brain switched on to follow all the bluffs, double bluffs and counter bluffs. I love the motley crew of characters, the apparent losers & slow horses and the wonderful dark humour.

Happy reading!

You must think I’m mad to put a book I registered on my Wishlist, but I am introducing my son to this series! Thank you.

Passed to my son to read and release.
