Finding the lost member of a government think-tank that limits the intelligence services' independence is the responsibility of Claude Whelan, the former head of MI5's Regent's Park. Diana Taverner is the main suspect in this case, yet the trail leads directly back to the Park itself. Has Diana finally overplayed her hand? Why is Moscow's First Desk, her counterpart, in London? Does Jackson Lamb possess knowledge that he is not disclosing?
The slow horses are doing what they do best over at Slough House, adding a little turmoil to an already unstable situation while Shirley Dander is in rehab, Roddy Ho is in dress rehearsal, and new recruit Ashley Khan is ramping up the heat.
There are evil actors in every corner, and before the credits roll, they usually get their comeuppance. However, politics is a nasty game, and the good men can occasionally find themselves outclassed in a society where cheating, lying, and backstabbing are commonplace.
