Über diesen Titel

The brand new Slough House thriller from the #1 bestseller Mick Herron

*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*

----

'Mick Herron is our best and most topical spy writer' Ian Rankin

'Clown Town is a masterpiece' India Knight, Sunday Times

'An authentic megastar of the genre' Sam Leith, Guardian

'No one can rival Mick Herron' The Times

'A superb thriller' The Spectator

----

Spies lie. They betray. It's what they do.

Slow horse River Cartwright is waiting to be passed fit for work. With time to kill, and with his grandfather - a legendary former spy - long dead, River investigates the secrets of the old man's library, and a mysteriously missing book.

Regent's Park's First Desk, Diana Taverner, doesn't appreciate threats. So when those involved in a covert operation during the height of the Troubles threaten to expose the ugly side of state security, Taverner turns blackmail into opportunity.

Over at Slough House, the repository for failed spies, Catherine Standish just wants everyone to play nice. But as far as Jackson Lamb is concerned, the slow horses should all be at their desks.

Because when Taverner starts plotting mischief people get hurt, and Lamb has no plans to send in the clowns. On the other hand, if the clowns ignore his instructions and fool around, any harm that befalls them is hardly his fault.

But they're his clowns. And if they don't all come home, there'll be a reckoning.


*Mick Herron's Clown Town was a Sunday Times Number Four bestseller in hardback in the second week of September 2025

Kritikerstimmen

Mick Herron has that rare gift of being able to write exquisitely and hilariously while keeping us on the edge of our seats. An IRA double agent and a corrupt politician are central to this story while Diana Taverner and Jackson Lamb slug it out once again. Thoroughly enjoyable, I now have a whole new bunch of insults to add to my collection (Liz Nugent, author of STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND)
Pure class: thrilling, funny and moving. By now it's obvious that the Slough House novels are not just suspenseful, laugh-out-loud entertainments, not just literary marvels, but important too, essential stories of the state of the UK in the twenty first century (Simon Mason, author of A VOICE IN THE NIGHT)

As usual a bitter-sweet reunion with the spooks. However, although hus impersonations of the characters is ingenious, the speaker is sometimes hard to understand. But maybe that's just a trouble spot for non-native speakers.
Loved it. Very entertaining.
Is it cake? 😅

Bitter-sweet

I flew through this book and can’t seem to get enough of the Slow Horses. Each character is so well drawn and plotted. Head of MI5 Diana Taverner finally meets her match in politician turned spin doctor Peter Judd - or is it the other way round? Decades long injustice dating back to The Troubles (Northern Ireland) meet current politics and all are dealt with disastrously by the Slow Horses and then sorted out by Jackson Lamb. Along the timeless yet fast moving spy thriller plot there is so much more: comedy, mystery, contemporary politics and failed characters that you will care about and root for. Am finding all other books slow and bland in comparison.

Absolutely brilliant!
