The Catch: A Novella by Mick Herron

The Catch can now be found in Standing by the Wall, the collection of other novellas set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Slough House series.

John Bachelor is the saddest kind of spy: not a joe in the field, not even a desk jockey, but a milkman--a 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, John's been living in a dead man's London apartment, hoping the bureaucracy isn't going to catch up with him and leave him homeless. But keeping a secret among spies is a fool's errand, and now John has made himself eminently blackmailable.

Mick Herron was born in Newcastle and graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with a degree in English. Slow Horses, Dead Lions, Nobody Walks, Real Tigers, Spook Street, Down Cemetery Road, The Last Voice You Hear, Why We Die, Smoke and Whispers, and Reconstruction are among his ten other works, along with the novella The List. He has received nominations for the Macavity, Barry, Shamus, and CWA Steel Dagger Awards, as well as an Ellery Queen Readers Award and the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel. He is based in Oxford.
