Standing by the Wall: The Collected Slough House Novellas by Mick Herron
At last in one volume: the collected Slough House spy novellas, including the never-before-published Christmas interlude Standing by the Wall.Espionage. Blackmail. Revenge. Cunning. Slapstick. State secrets dating back to the fall of the Berlin Wall. All this and more in a tight package of five novellas by Mick Herron, CWA Gold Dagger-winning author of Slow Horses. From the troubled recruitment of a new MI5 informant to a botched information transfer, Herron's novellas capture the drama, humor, and high stakes of everyday life in the world of spycraft, a world rife with both legends and secrets, where thrill-seeking and loneliness are ubiquitous and deadly, and where the lines between friends, enemies, and lovers are perpetually blurred by circumstance and subterfuge.
For fans new and old, Standing by the Wall is an excellent introduction to the extended literary universe of Mick Herron's Slow Horses. Collection includes: The List, The Marylebone Drop, The Catch, The Last Dead Letter, and Standing by the Wall.
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.
