In Slough House memories are stirring, all of them bad. Catherine Standish is buying booze again, Louisa Guy is raking over the ashes of lost love, and new recruit Lech Wicinski, whose sins make him outcast even among the slow horses, is determined to discover who destroyed his career, even if he tears his life apart in the process. The opening chapter takes place after the main action in the book, and sees two bad actors walking away from a fire they’ve set. Their conversation turns to the bodies they’ve left behind, and one is revealed to be that of someone from Slough House. From the start we know someone is going to die, but Herron doesn’t reveal who until the very end but you know what whoever it is, it will leave you upset.
