About this audiobook
*Pre-order Clown Town, the ninth novel in Mick Herron's Slough House series, now*
*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*
'A terrific spy novel' Ian Rankin
'A modern masterpiece' Irish Times
****
Twenty years retired from the Intelligence Service, David Cartwright still knows where all the bones are buried. But when he forgets that secrets are supposed to stay hidden, there's suddenly a target on his back.
The 'Old Bastard' raised his grandson to be a hero, not a slow horse. Now, far from joining the myths and legends of Spook Street, River Cartwright is part of Jackson Lamb's team of pen-pushing no-hopers at Slough House. Which doesn't mean he won't ditch everything and go rogue when his grandfather comes under threat.
Lamb worked with Cartwright back in the day, and knows better than most that this is no innocent old man. So when a panic button raises the alarm at Intelligence Service HQ, it's Lamb who's called on to identify the body. And it's Lamb who'll do whatever's necessary to protect an agent in peril.

Kệ sách hay nhà xuất bản thì đâu cũng có. Quan trọng phải phù hợp và người đọc người xem phải chải nghiệm lạc vào từng khung đoạn của một khung lào đó. Kể cả là sách của trẻ nhỏ, tác giả đã viết lên thì mong người sử dụng lên trân trọng và hiểu theo cách gọi của từng giai đoạn thích hợp nhất. Vs tôi không có nhiều time để đọc hay nghiền ngẫm tất cả các cuốn sách hiếm trong cuộc sống này. Nhưng cũng may ơn trên tạo hoá ban tặng cho tôi một giác quan một ánh mắt một hình hài hoạt bát trong giao thức và bắt nhịp hiểu vài phần, và cũng có cuốn sách mà tôi nghĩ chắc chả mấy khi có dịp mở da xem. Nhưng sách lại là sách quý mà tôi lại được nhìn qua, cười cái người lạ ơi kakakaka
