The author skilfully skewers a British government, led by a PM notorious for gaslighting a nation, and known for his hands off approach when it comes to actually engaging with the details and work of governance, his chief SPAD is the behind scenes manipulator Anthony Sparrow, an expert when it comes to the art of dirty politics. The slow horses are back in Mick Herron's marvellous latest addition to his terrific Slough House series, featuring the dregs and failures of the British intelligence services, led by the monstrously astute Jackson Lamb. ![]()
