Synopsis
British spy master Mick Herron returns with an explosive novella set in the same world as his multiple CWA Daggerwinning Slough House series
John Bachelor is the saddest kind of spy: not a joe in the field, not even a desk jockey, but a milkmana part-time pension administrator whose main job is to check in on aging retired spies. Late in his career and having lost his wife, his house, and his savings after a series of unlucky
choices, Johns been living in a dead mans London apartment, hoping the bureaucracy isnt going to catch up with him and leave him homeless. But keeping a secret among spies is a fools errand, and now John has made himself eminently blackmailable.
Suspense, spycraft, dry wit and vulgar humor are all well-deployed in this satisfying work by Mr. Herron, whose style can accommodate everything from a tough action scene to a lyrical elegy.The Wall Street Journal
