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.
