    Praise for DEAD LIONS WINNER OF THE 2013 CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR BEST CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR A BBC FRONT ROW BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2013 A TIMES CRIME AND THRILLER BOOK OF THE YEAR A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 50 CRIME AND THRILLER BOOK OF THE PAST 5 YEARS "Smart, sharp British wit at its finest. A uniquely brilliant take on the British spy novel." ─Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Below Montparnasse "Funny, clever . . . Genuinely thrilling. The novel is equally noteworthy for its often lyrical prose." ─ Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "A great romp." ─ Jeff Park, BBC Front Row "Delightful . . . with a dry humor reminiscent of Greene and Waugh." -- Sunday Times , Best Thrillers and Crime Novels of the Past 5 Years "Clever and funny." ─ The Times "Herron delivers unbeatable entertainment for thriller fans." ─ Library Journal , Starred Review "[A] wickedly clever send-up of the classic British spy novel." ─Crime Writers' Association "If you like your suspense novels told with a smart dash of wit and sarcasm, filled with lots of twists and turns, Herron's your man." ─Shelf Awareness "[ Dead Lions ] features some of the twistiest plotlines in crime fiction...[and] is beautifully written but also elegantly structured . . . Ever since finishing Slow Horses , I've been waiting for a possible sequel. Now that it's here, I have the pleasure of experiencing it, along with the pang of having finished it." ─ International Noir Fiction "Herron provides a dour, twisty spy thriller with something for everyone: part post-Cold War miasma, part James Bond heroics, and elliptical withal." ─Kirkus Reviews " Dead Lions is at once a finely wrought thriller and a farcical, fiercely pointed tale of political greed and bureaucratic corruption. Mick Herron writes like a dream." ─Open Letters Monthly "A surreal, cynical, yet amusing look at the world of British intelligence . . . a looking-glass world that features KGB undercover agents, a Russian oligarch, a text message on a mobile phone and the ghost of a fabled Soviet spymaster who may not be real . . . an amusing, serpentine plot that takes readers as far from the glamorous world of Ian Fleming's tuxedo-wearing spy as could be imagined." ─ January Magazine , Best Books of 2013 "Full of style and cynical humor . . .

    A New York Times bestselling series THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF SLOW HORSES , THE APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING GARY OLDMAN IN HIS EMMY-NOMINATED ROLE AS JACKSON LAMB. The CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning British espionage novel about disgraced MI5 agents who inadvertently uncover a deadly Cold War-era legacy of sleeper cells and mythic super spies. The disgruntled agents of Slough House, the MI5 branch where washed-up spies are sent to finish their failed careers on desk duty, are called into action to protect a visiting Russian oligarch whom MI5 hopes to recruit to British intelligence. While two agents are dispatched on that babysitting job, though, an old Cold War-era spy named Dickie Bow is found dead, ostensibly of a heart attack, on a bus outside of Oxford, far from his usual haunts. But the head of Slough House, the irascible Jackson Lamb, is convinced Dickie Bow was murdered. As the agents dig into their fallen comrade's circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets that seem to lead back to a man named Alexander Popov, who is either a Soviet bogeyman or the most dangerous man in the world. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried?, THE BOOK BEHIND THE SECOND SEASON OF SLOW HORSES , THE APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING GARY OLDMAN IN HIS EMMY-NOMINATED ROLE AS JACKSON LAMB.
