Slow Horses by Mick Herron
Recommended to me by an expert in the genre, this first story in a series featuring the character Jackson Lamb didn’t disappoint. It starts with a slow burn as Herron introduces his characters and sets up the basis for this and future stories, but once it gets going it crackles and sizzles along like a jumping cracker. Herron’s murky world of spooks and spies, double-cross and fit-ups, is entirely credible (at least to me as a lay reader!). On to the next in the series.
