Dolphin Junction: Stories by Mick Herron

Dolphin Junction: Stories by Mick Herron

CWA Gold and Steel Dagger-winner Mick Herron's short fiction, collected for the first time.

Mick Herron, author of the Slough House novels, is on his way to becoming one of the most critically acclaimed and culturally important crime fiction writers of the twenty-first century. He has been awarded both the Gold and Steel Daggers by the Crime Writers'; Association
and has been called the John Le Carr of the future (BBC). But Mick Herron does more than just write flawlessly suspenseful spy thrillers. He is a craftist of the highest order, irrepressibly versatile in form (novels, novellas, short fiction) and mood (witty, taut, spooky,
laugh-out-loud funny), whose efficient, darkly witty, tipped-with-imagery sentences . . . feel purpose-built to perforate our] private daze of illiteracy (The Atlantic).

Now, for the first time, Herron's short fiction has been collected into one volume. In Dolphin Junction, devoted fans and future converts alike will find much to amuse, delight, and terrify them. Five standalone nerve-rackingly thrilling crime fiction stories are complemented by four mystery stories featuring the Oxford wife-and-husband detective team of shrewd Zo Boehm and hapless Joe Silvermann. The collection also includes a peek into the past of Jackson Lamb, irascible top agent at Slough House.

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.
