Set in the same fictional London as his CWA Gold Dagger
Award-winning Slough House series, Mick Herron now
introduces Tom Bettany, an ex-spook with a violent past and
only one thing to live for: Avenging his son’s death.
Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France
when he gets a voicemail from an Englishwoman he doesn't
know telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is
dead—Liam Bettany fell from his London balcony, where he was
smoking dope.
Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago,
Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about
his son's death. Maybe it’s the guilt he feels about losing
touch with his son that’s gnawing at him, or maybe he’s
actually put his finger on a labyrinthine plot, but either
way he’ll get to the bottom of the tragedy, no matter whose
feathers he has to ruffle. But more than a few people are
interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from
incarcerated mob bosses to those in the highest echelons of
MI5. He might have thought he'd left it all behind when he
first skipped town, but nobody really just walks away.
