Mick Herron Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Eine wichtige Mitarbeiterin des Premierministers verschwindet spurlos, und ausgerechnet Claude Whelan, ehemaliger MI5-Chef und als solcher Erzfeind seiner Nachfolgerin Diana Taverner, soll sie finden. Doch die Spur führt ihn direkt zurück zum Hauptquartier im Regent’s Park – und über Umwege und etliche Gehässigkeiten zu Jackson Lamb. Mit ihrer unvergleichlichen Mischung aus tiefschwarzem Humor, nerdigem Narzissmus und Chaos bringen die Slow Horses eine instabile Situation endgültig ins Wanken.

Aber für kluge Entscheidungen sind die Slow Horses nicht gerade bekannt.

A Londra, alla sede dell’MI5 a Regent’s Park, il capo dei servizi segreti Claude Whelan sta imparando a sue spese che il ruolo da Prima scrivania comporta molti più oneri che onori. Incaricato di garantire che le imminenti elezioni amministrative si svolgano senza intoppi, si trova bersagliato da ogni fronte: da un parlamentare agitatore di folle che pontifica contro qualunque minoranza; dalla moglie di quest’ultimo, che non perde occasione per attaccare Whelan sui tabloid; e soprattutto dalla sua vice, Lady D Taverner, sempre pronta a fargli le scarpe. Intanto, il paese è scosso da una serie apparentemente casuale di attacchi terroristici e i brocchi di Jackson Lamb, gli agenti più sregolati dell’intelligence inglese, stanno per fare quello che gli riesce meglio: trasformare una situazione delicata nel caos totale.
