The CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning British espionage novel about disgraced MI5 agents who inadvertently uncover a deadly Cold War-era legacy of sleeper cells and mythic super spies. 

The disgruntled agents of Slough House, the MI5 branch where washed-up spies are sent to finish their failed careers on desk duty, are called into action to protect a visiting Russian oligarch whom MI5 hopes to recruit to British intelligence. While two agents are dispatched on that babysitting job, though, an old Cold War-era spy named Dickie Bow is found dead, ostensibly of a heart attack, on a bus outside of Oxford, far from his usual haunts. 

But the head of Slough House, the irascible Jackson Lamb, is convinced Dickie Bow was murdered. As the agents dig into their fallen comrade's circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets that seem to lead back to a man named Alexander Popov, who is either a Soviet bogeyman or the most dangerous man in the world. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried?

Truly excellent storyteller. Having read Slow Horses and now Dead Lions, Mick Herron is my new favorite author. His characters come alive and I’m engrossed in the story.

Marc Twang

Little Lamb. Herron’s gift for character creates people we care about, even giving us reason to love Lady Di in this one. But the convoluted plot and improbable story beats make this outing one of diminishing returns.

Slow horses. Loved the first book and got a bit bored with the second. Glad to see someone die, especially Spider, but don’t over complicate it. Simple and tied in several knots. More smiley than g smiley please. And thanks for writing.

Auggie's Man

Love the Slow Horses. The characters, the dialog, the plot all are outstanding. Will be reading the entire series.

Dead Lions. Intriguing but average

Lolocooks

Highly Creative. Just about the most enjoyable spy novel I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a long while. His writing is engaging, inventive and spontaneous in style it seems. I fully intend to read more of his books.
