The Jackson Lamb series by Mick Herron has been a runaway bestseller both in our shop and nationwide. We are thrilled to announce that Mick Herron will be returning to West End Lane Books once again ahead of the publication of Bad Actors on 11th May at 7pm. Mick will be in conversation with Sam Leith of The Spectator.
In MI5 a scandal is brewing and there are bad actors everywhere. A key member of a Downing Street think-tank has disappeared without a trace. Claude Whelan, one-time First Desk of MI5's Regent's Park, is tasked with tracking her down.
But the trail leads straight back to Regent's Park HQ itself, with its chief, Diana Taverner, as prime suspect. Meanwhile her Russian counterpart has unexpectedly shown up in London but has slipped under MI5's radar. Over at Slough House, the home for demoted and embittered spies, the slow horses are doing what they do best: adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation.
In a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing is the norm, bad actors are bending the rules for their own gain. If the slow horses want to change the script, they'll need to get their own act together before the final curtain.
Tickets are £5 per person which is redeemable against the book on the night. If you cannot make the event you can pre order a signed and dedicated copy of Bad Actors using the link below.
