’n Reeks geheimsinnige oorsese betalings aan weeskinders van die Bosoorlog het die Inkomstediens diep bekommerd. Dit dra die vingermerke van die ou SAW se koverte intelligensiegroep, Delta 40.

Tex se aandag is erg verdeel tussen dié saak en die selfdood van die Engelsman, ‘n oud-makker, wat uit gewetensbeswaardheid nooit aan ‘n vuurwapen gevat het nie. Met Carlos nou terug in Angola, probeer Tex die vreemde omstandighede van die Engelsman se dood opsy skuif en Helena met die naspoor van die geheimsinnige transaksies help.

Maar hy en Carlos se bosoorlog-verlede – en die spoor van ‘n ivoor-smokkelnetwerk wat hulle saam met die Engelsman in Angola oopgekrap het – bly opdring tot Tex dit nie meer kan ignoreer nie.

When one of their own is kidnapped, the washed-up MI5 operatives of Slough House—the Slow Horses, as they're known—outwit rogue agents at the very highest levels of British Intelligence, and even to Downing Street itself.

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.
