About This Novel
The original novel of the hit TV series "Flower" series, a masterpiece of spy novels in the new era. In the purgatory of the Intelligence Bureau, Slough House, spies were mockingly called "horses" and were sent here to spend the rest of their lives. Their boss, Jackson Lamb, is on his way to Oxford to investigate the mystery of a former spy who died on a bus. In special times, Dickie Bowe was not an obvious assassination target. He was a very talented street worker. Good at tracking people and bringing back their secrets. Dickey was working with Lamb in Berlin at the time. Now Lamb has his phone, and on it is the last secret Dickie revealed before his death. And Lamb had reason to believe that the Intelligence Agency was secretly carrying out an old Moscow-style operation. Once a spy, always a spy. Dickey was one of them. In order to uncover the secrets Dickie left before his death, Lamb and his hopeless Slough Squad members are about to take action... A portrait of frustrated agents in the post-Cold War era, presenting a delightfully corrosive vision of British intelligence - the workplace is the Shura Field.
