Two Slough House Novellas **THE DROP** 'It is time Mick Herron was
recognised in his own right as the best thriller writer in Britain
today' Sunday Express Old spooks carry the memory of tradecraft in
their bones, and when Solomon Dortmund sees an envelope being
passed from one pair of hands to another in a Marylebone cafe, he
knows he's witnessed more than an innocent encounter. But in
relaying his suspicions to John Bachelor, who babysits retired
spies like Solly, he sets in train events which will alter lives.
Bachelor himself, a hair's breadth away from sleeping in his car,
is clawing his way back to stability; Hannah Weiss, the double
agent whose recruitment was his only success, is starting to enjoy
the secrets and lies her role demands; and Lech Wicinski, an
Intelligence Service analyst, finds that a simple favour for an old
acquaintance might derail his career. Meanwhile, Lady Di Taverner
is trying to keep the Service on an even keel, and if that means
throwing the odd crew member overboard, well: collateral damage is
her speciality. A drop, in spook parlance, is the passing on of
secret information. It's also what happens just before you hit the
ground. **THE LIST** 'Mick Herron is an incredible writer and if
you haven't read him yet, you NEED to' Mark Billingham Dieter Hess,
an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in
deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been
keeping a secret second bank account - and there's only ever one
reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of
whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may
undo an entire career's worth of spy secrets. **previously
published as two separate editions**
