Oxford private detective Zoë Boehm turns up dead in Newcastle, launching her friend Sarah Tucker into an investigation with several leads—but no one she can trust. When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions.

Un vecchio leone, per giunta cresciuto allo "Zoo" di Berlino durante la Guerra fredda. Jackson Lamb è stato a Berlino con Dickie prima della caduta del Muro. Ora possiede il suo cellulare con il suo ultimo messaggio e sospetta che qualcuno stia escogitando un'operazione in vecchio stile sovietico proprio nella tana del lupo, in piena Londra e sotto al naso dei servizi segreti.

Sarah Tucker lebt in einem beschaulichen Vorort von Oxford, in der Rolle als Hausfrau gestrandet. Als jedoch nach einer Explosion in der Nachbarschaft ein Kind spurlos verschwindet, findet sie keine Ruhe mehr und holt sich Hilfe bei der Privatermittlerin Zoë Boehm. Gemeinsam bringen die beiden Frauen mehr Geheimnisse als Antworten ans Licht – Menschen, die lange für tot gehalten wurden, weilen unter den Lebenden, während sich immer mehr schnell zu den Toten gesellen. Vom ruhigen, abgründigen Pflaster Oxfords in ein Netz aus Verschwörungen von hochoffizieller Seite.

Non esistono le coincidenze per una spia, Catherine Standish lo sa bene. Ha lavorato nell'intelligence abbastanza a lungo da aver visto tradimenti, doppi giochi e pugnalate alla schiena. Ma perché prendersela con lei, l'ultima ruota del carro, un'ex alcolista che non è neppure una vera spia? Smista carte alla Casa del pantano, il gradino più basso dei Servizi segreti, la discarica in cui vengono spediti gli agenti in disgrazia, che hanno commesso errori imperdonabili o ecceduto nei vizi. Perché è stata rapita? Chi è il vero bersaglio: lei o il Pantano?

Zoë Boehm has harbored a distinct aversion to death ever since she shot the man intent on killing her. So when Caroline Daniels takes a deadly fall in front of a train and her lover fails to turn up at the funeral, Zoë wants nothing to do with the case. But Caroline’s boss is persistent, and as Zoë attempts to unlock the secrets of a woman she’s never met while in search of a man who could be anywhere, she starts to wonder if he’s found her first. And if he has, will that make her the next victim, or prove to be her salvation from a paralyzing fear?

When Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the gang who knocked over Sweeney’s jewelry shop, she’s just hoping to break even in time for tax season. She certainly doesn’t expect to wind up in a coffin. But she’s about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who’s dedicating what’s left of his life to protecting the pretty, battered Katrina Blake from her late husband’s sociopathic brothers, Arkle and Trent.

Li chiamano "i Brocchi". Sono gli uomini di Jackson Lamb, un branco di perdenti, di cavalli azzoppati. Sono gli agenti segreti di serie b, quelli di cui l'Intelligence si vergogna, masticati e rigettati dal sistema per via di qualche incancellabile colpa e ora parcheggiati lontano da Regent's Park in una specie di prigione per falliti, a svolgere compiti infami e a smistare scartoffie in attesa che si sfiniscano da soli e mollino il colpo. Quando un ragazzo musulmano viene rapito, con la minaccia di decapitarlo in diretta sul web, i Brocchi fiutano l'occasione per riscattarsi.

David Cartwright, long buried, has left his library to the Spooks’ College in Oxford, and now one of the books is missing. Or perhaps it never existed. River, once a “slow horse” of Slough House, MI5’s outpost for demoted and disgraced spies, has some time to kill while awaiting medical clearance to return to work, and starts investigating the secrets of his grandfather’s library.

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.

En la Casa de la Ciénaga, el destino de los espías del MI5 londinense caídos en desgracia, se agitan los recuerdos, todos ellos malos. Catherine Standish vuelve a comprar alcohol, Louisa Guy remueve las cenizas de su amor perdido y el nuevo recluta, Lech Wicinski, cuyos pecados lo convierten en un marginado incluso entre los «caballos lentos», está decidido a descubrir quién arruinó su carrera, aunque destroce su vida en el intento.

El nuevo director del MI5, Claude Whelan, tendrá que aprender los trucos del oficio del modo más difícil. Encargado de proteger a un primer ministro acosado, se enfrenta a ataques del petulante parlamentario que orquestó el referéndum del Brexit y de su esposa, que escribe una columna en la prensa sensacionalista; del político favorito del primer ministro; y, sobre todo, de su segunda al mando, la ambiciosa lady Di Taverner. Además, el país se ve agitado por una serie de ataques terroristas en apariencia aleatorios.

¿Qué ocurre cuando un viejo espía como David Cartwright pierde la cabeza? ¿Alguien se ocupa de esos agentes que atesoran información reservada, pero que no recuerdan que lo es? Son algunas de las preguntas a las que su nieto River, miembro del equipo de Jackson Lamb y sus «caballos lentos», los proscritos del servicio secreto británico, quiere responder ahora que su abuelo, un mito de la Guerra Fría y figura legendaria del MI5, empieza a olvidarse de las cosas.

Selbst in Slough House, dem belanglosesten Außenposten des mi5, fordert der Brexit seinen Tribut: Das ganze Haus wurde aus den offiziellen Akten gelöscht – mitsamt seinen Insassen. Mehr noch, plötzlich sterben ehemalige Mitglieder wie die Fliegen. Kein Wunder, dass Jackson Lambs Mannschaft etwas paranoid wird. Es wäre klug, sich einen sicheren Ort zu suchen. Aber für kluge Entscheidungen sind die Slow Horses nicht gerade bekannt.
