About this listen

 'Mick Herron is an incredible writer and if you haven't read him yet, you NEED to' Mark Billingham

Dieter Hess, an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been keeping a secret second bank account - and there's only ever one reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may undo an entire career's worth of spy secrets.

Excellent plot and engaging narration. Shame it is only a short story. Hopefully it will be expanded in the future.

Another excellent piece of work from Mick Heron. His Slough House series is addictive, and as a short story this piece demonstrates why his books are so moorish. Great writing style, humour, intelligence and a twist.

Spooks, spies and scheming

An intriguing intro to another clever and captivating story. Don't be fooled by the titles - there's nothing slow about these horses!

Cannot wait to see where this story goes..

This is a lovely little 'amuse bouche' between main courses. John Bachelor is nobody's leading man but this is more than compensated for by the deliciously devious 'Lady Di' who is on top form - as usual. Well worth a credit.
