"Will the agents of Slough House be able to rescue one of their own before it is too late?"
Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter
Posted January 19, 2016
Suspense
Slough House is the least desirable division of the British
Intelligence Service. With the slovenly Jackson Lamb as its
department head, Slough House is the section of MI5 where
discredited agents, dubbed Slow Horses, deal with closed
cases while uselessly crunching numbers and chasing their
tales. Every Slow Horse knows there is no going back from
this demotion, but they all hold firmly to the belief
they might just be the exception. Daily interactions at
meaningless jobs does not make for close relationships
among the disgruntled agents. However, when Catherine Standish is kidnapped on her way to
work at Slough House, her fellow agents are thrust into a
situation with far-reaching implications. Misdirection
abounds as the Slow Horses work to save their fellow agent
and thwart a devious government conspiracy. It seems the
Home Secretary wants Slough House closed down by whatever
means it takes, so he sends in a "Tiger Team" to test the
strength of MI5's defenses. However, when things do not go
as planned, will the Slow Horses find a way to redeem
themselves? In REAL TIGERS, Mick Herron skillfully builds each
Slow Horse agent's personality and defects while recounting
their hopeless jobs at Slough House. After reading and
reviewing the first two books in this distinctive British
series, SLOW HORSES and DEAD LIONS, and enjoying their
quirky characters, I was optimistic about REAL TIGERS. Even
though the initial plot progress is a tad slow, which I
felt apropos, it was never sluggish and quickly picked up
speed. Though I was familiar with the main cast of
characters, it took some concentration on my part to
differentiate the secondary participants and the copious
schemes. I certainly enjoyed all the little surprising plot
twists along the way to the wickedly delightful conclusion.
It will be interesting to see what is next for these Slow
Horses.
SUMMARY
London: Slough House is the MI5 branch where disgraced
operatives are reassigned after they’ve messed up too badly
to be trusted with real intelligence work. The “Slow
Horses,” as the failed spies of Slough House are called,
are
doomed to spend the rest of their careers pushing paper,
but
they all want back in on the action. When one of their own is kidnapped and held for ransom, the
agents of Slough House must defeat the odds, overturning
all
expectations of their competence, to breach the top-notch
security of MI5’s intelligence headquarters, Regent’s Park,
and steal valuable intel in exchange for their comrade’s
safety. The kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg,
however—the agents uncover a larger web of intrigue that
involves not only a group of private mercenaries but the
highest authorities in the Secret Service. After years
spent
as the lowest on the totem pole, the Slow Horses suddenly
find themselves caught in the midst of a conspiracy that
threatens not only the future of Slough House, but of MI5
itself.
