Off with her head?
Are Diana Taverner’s days as First
Desk of MI5 numbered? It certainly seems so. A little bird is telling Oliver
Nash that Diana has disappeared a vital advisor to the PM’s team. Are the
intelligence services getting too independent for the PM's liking or is this a
threat to make MI5 fall in line.
Lady Di has other, more pressing problems, her
opposite number in Russia is in town, unnoticed by five's 'crack' surveillance
team and therefore able to operate under the radar. Jackson Lamb's slow horses
have been involved in an incident in Wimbledon that leaves one 'horse' with
tyre marks and another sent to a sanitorium. It doesn't take Lamb long to
realize that he and his team have unwittingly gathered intel that could be very
useful to Diana. Question is can he be arsed to save her?
If you haven't read any of this brilliant series, you can jump in with Slough House (Bk 7 in the series) or go back to the very first book, Slow Horses.
