Praise for Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series:The finest new crime series this MillenniumMick Herron is the real dealI can't wait to read what Mick Herron writes nextSurely among the finest British spy fiction of the past 20 yearsHerron has the comedy and eye to rival Len DeightonHerron may be the most literate,and slyest,thriller writer in English todayDelightful...with a dry humour reminiscent of Greene and WaughPRAISE FOR THE TV SERIESWith two stellar seasons under its belt,we can now well and truly say Slow Horses is a series well worthy of the hypeBlackly comic,brilliantly scripted,alternative spy dramaJackson Lamb is very much an anti-hero for our times: you might not want to share a lift with him,but when the chips are down you'd want him at your back
Mick Herron
Kicking off with 2010's Slow Horses,Mick Herron's Slough House series has lit a match under the British spy genre. With its world-wary coterie of misfits and starring the cunning Jackson Lamb,Herron is now at the front rank of espionage fiction and considered by many to be the true spiritual successor to Len Deighton.
