Watch the Quiet Snow

£22.00

Espionage. Blackmail. Revenge. Cunning. Secrets. From the troubled recruitment of a new MI5 informant to the buried secrets of the Cold War, Herron’s novellas capture the drama, humour, 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.

***

On spook street, snow is falling, hiding memories and secrets.

A double agent on the loose. Confessions from the Cold War. Another operation bungled.

Whether it is John Bachelor – a spy handler a few rungs lower on the ladder than the slow horses – holding onto his job; spy chief Di Taverner using blackmail to get her way; or Jackson Lamb erasing his past life in the Cold War, Watch the Quiet Snow reminds us of the importance of London Rules: cover your arse.

Watch The Quiet Snow collects the Slough House novellas in one beautiful volume, featuring The List, The Drop, The Catch, The Last Dead Letter and Standing by the Wall.
