This month we’re reading Slow Horses by Mick Herron
The book begins at Slough House, Regent’s Park: a graveyard for members of the intelligence service no longer in the game – the slow horses. A motley crew of criminals, abusers and troubled souls, banished for various crimes of drugs and drunkenness, lechery and failure, politics and betrayal – they all belong to Jackson Lamb.
Jackson Lamb’s misfits may be highly trained but they don’t run ops, they push paper. But when a boy is kidnapped and held hostage, a chance opens up for the slow horses to redeem themselves…
Slow Horses is also now a major TV series starring Gary Oldman, so we thought it’d be the perfect time to read it!
We’ll meet for the book club in the shop on Wednesday 27 April @ 7pm – if this sounds up your street, just drop us an email at orders@paradesendbooks.co.uk to come along.
