Join us for an evening with the master of British spy fiction Mick Herron, as he discusses his highly anticipated new thriller Clown Town, the hit Apple TV+ series Slow Horses and the blistering world of espionage.

The ninth instalment in his internationally bestselling Slough House series, Clown Town drags Jackson Lamb’s team of misfit spies into dangerous territory when a buried operation from the Troubles resurfaces. As Diana Taverner sees a chance to fix a current crisis - by using the past as leverage - River Cartwright investigates his grandfather’s mysterious legacy, and the slow horses once again find that nothing stays harmless for long.

‘As a master of wit, satire, insight . . . Herron is difficult to overpraise’ Daily Telegraph
