Spook Street, Mick Herron

A man getting a bit absent-minded, going to the shops in his pjs should trigger the family talk about nursing homes. When the man in question is David Cartwright, legend in the secret service and grandfather to slow horse River; the worry is that the OB might shoot the postman, mistaking him for a Russian spy. There are so many secrets locked up in Cartwright's head. One secret in particular is threatening the entire secret service and wily Diana Taverner is out to bash it over the with a shovel and bury it, metaphorically speaking of course.

Jackson Lamb is called out to identify a body, one of his slow horses appears to have met an untimely end. Another is out on Spook Street, following a trail into enemy territory and deep into David Cartwright's past. And River, well he's about to have a bullet-riddled family reunion.
