Thrilled to be offering LIVESTREAM tickets to Mick Herron | The Slow Horses are Back! Sat 22 Nov | 4:00pm, Cambridge Union.

‘Bestselling and critically acclaimed author Mick Herron returns with Clown Town, the latest instalment in his award-winning Slough House series – the inspiration for the smash-hit Apple TV series Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman as the unforgettable Jackson Lamb.
In Clown Town, the disgraced spies of Slough House are once again caught up in a web of deception, betrayal and blackmail. River Cartwright, side-lined from duty, stumbles into dangerous secrets hidden in his late grandfather’s library. At Regent’s Park, First Desk Diana Taverner turns threats into opportunity, weaponising the past to shore up her present power. And while Catherine Standish prays for calm, Jackson Lamb knows that when Taverner starts playing games, people get hurt. The slow horses may be clowns, but they’re his clowns, and if they don’t all come home, there will be a reckoning.
Exhilaratingly plotted, scabrously funny and sharply intelligent, Herron’s novels have redefined the spy thriller for a new age.
Come and hear one of Britain’s finest living crime and espionage writers on page and screen talk about the extraordinary world of the slow horses.

In conversation with Alex Clark’.
