Dead Lions
By Mick Herron
Soho Press
I’ve been a fan of the Apple TV series Slow Horses, based upon Herron’s series of MI5’s band of rejects who’ve been sent to Slough House, led by the mercurial Jackson Lamb. This book is season 2, and actually stays quite faithful to the series (or perhaps the other way around). If you’re not British, you may miss some of the slang, but it’s a great ride.
