Watch the Quiet Snow

The Slough House novellas, collected here for the first time in one volume.

From the troubled recruitment of a new MI5 informant to the buried secrets of the Cold War, Herron's novellas capture the drama, humour, and high stakes of everyday life in the world of spycraft. A world rife with both legends and secrets, where thrill-seeking and loneliness are ubiquitous and deadly, and where the lines between friends, enemies, and lovers are perpetually blurred by circumstance and subterfuge.

The collection includes: The List, The Drop, The Catch, The Last Dead Letter, and Standing by the Wall.
