Praise for Clown Town A New York Times Bestseller An American Bookseller Association Indie Bestseller Vogue ''s Best Books of the Year #2 on People Magazine''s Must-Read Books of Fall An ABA Indie Next Selection "A wickedly funny take on espionage." -- People "Excellent . . . Herron''s work now has a huge following and no wonder: He''s a master at mixing byzantine plotting with breathless pacing." -- Vogue "Darkly comic." --The New York Times "May be the best Slow Horses book to date . . . Mr. Herron''s style is as relaxed and stylish as ever, accommodating both keen one-line descriptions and more elaborate imagery. Unpredictability remains a hallmark of the series: One of the slow horses takes an irreversible action toward the end of Clown Town so unexpected it seems as shocking as a drive-by shooting." --Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal " Clown Town showcases the series'' best qualties . . . It''s a quirk and a gift that the author can tell such somber, unsettling stories so sprightly." --The Washington Post "Laced with Herron''s mordant wit and whip-crack dialogue." -- Financial Times "Every bit as funny, exciting and surprisingly poignant as the TV show." --Minnesota Star Tribune "Overflowing with gritty action and mordant humor, this is as good as espionage novels get." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "The best news of all: The climax leaves the door open to further reports from the hilariously misnamed British Intelligence." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review "Since he first introduced the misfit spies of Slough House in 2008''s Slow Horses , Herron has been compared to the likes of Graham Greene, Len Deighton, and John le Carré. But Herron''s stories are entirely unique, and his writing style is unlike anyone else''s, with a deliciously satirical edge . . . If there are any spy-fiction fans who haven''t yet read Herron''s books, now''s a good time to rectify that." -- Booklist "[The] payoff is spectacular." -- BookPage "A terrific entry in a modern-day spy series that never disappoints." --Bookreporter.com Praise for the Slough House Series "What spurs me to keep reading each new installment is Herron''s absurdist voice, which could devolve into cheap cynicism but never does. That''s why the Slough House denizens, from Jackson Lamb to Roddy Ho to newcomer Ashley Kahn, maintain pathos in the face of parody--they may be bitter, but they have pride in themselves and their work." -- The New York Times Book Review "Intricate plotting, full of twists . . . Herron can certainly write a real spy story, with all the misdirection and sleight of hand that requires. But it''s the surly Slough House mood, the eccentric characters, and Herron''s very black, very dry sense of humor that made me read one after the other without a break." --Slate.com "I''ll tell you what, to have been lucky enough to play Smiley in one''s career; and now go and play Jackson Lamb in Mick Herron''s novels--the heir, in a way, to le Carré--is a terrific thing." --Gary Oldman "Confirms Mick Herron as the best spy novelist now working." --NPR''s Fresh Air "Compulsively readable, tightly plotted." -- Los Angeles Times "Out of a wickedly imagined version of MI5, [Herron] has spun works of diabolical plotting and high-spirited cynicism, their pages filled with sardonic wit . . . Happily for Mr. Herron--if alas for us--events continue to produce rich material for his special gifts, and we hope he is scribbling away making good use of it all." -- The Wall Street Journal "Heroic struggles, less-heroic failures and a shoot-out-cum-heist . . . with no let-up in the page turning throughout." -- Esquire "The best in a generation, by some estimations, and irrefutably the funniest." -- The New Yorker "Herron''s strength is in examining at close hand the absurdities, conflicts, and dangers of the intelligence agency as an institution at the center of some of the most central conflicts in the 21st century." -- Los Angeles Review of Books, Praise for Clown Town "Overflowing with gritty action and mordant humor, this is as good as espionage novels get." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review Praise for the Slough House Series "What spurs me to keep reading each new installment is Herron's absurdist voice, which could devolve into cheap cynicism but never does.

Synopsis
"May be the best Slow Horses book to date." --The Wall Street Journal THE NEW NOVEL IN THE SERIES BEHIND SLOW HORSES, AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+ Jackson Lamb and the bad spies of Slough House are caught in a deadly battle between MI5's secret past and its murky future in this gripping, hilarious, and heartbreaking thriller by Mick Herron, "the le Carré of the future" (BBC). "Old spies grow ridiculous, River. Old spies aren't much better than clowns." Or so David Cartwright, the late retired head of MI5, used to tell his grandson. He forgot to add that old spies can be dangerous, too, especially if they've fallen on hard times--as River Cartwright is about to learn the hard way. 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. Over at the Park, MI5 First Desk Diana Taverner is in a pickle. An operation carried out during the height of the Troubles laid bare the ugly side of state security, and those involved are threatening to expose details. But every threat hides an opportunity, and Taverner has come up with a scheme. All she needs is the right dupe to get caught holding the bag. Jackson Lamb, the enigmatic and odiferous head of Slough House, has no plans to send in the clowns. On the other hand, if the clowns ignore his instructions, any harm that befalls them is hardly his fault. But they're his clowns. And if they don't all make it home, there'll be a reckoning., AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "May be the best Slow Horses book to date.

You can tell by the delivery box it had traveled the long way to get here. The seller deserves an A+ for communication. The item was also as described and looks great and it’s new home.

- l***b (129)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThis is a scam. The book came directly from Barnes & Noble (it's the return address on the package). The book is currently available for $20 with free shipping - they charged me $48. They are just price gauging listings and ordering it from the B&N website. The package has a receipt from B&N with him as the buyer and me as recipient. Seller denied my return request and ignored my message. This is what gives eBay a bad name. This is fraud. Awful seller.
