Publisher's Synopsis
Tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, Regent's Park's First Desk, Claude Whelan, is facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the MP's wife, a tabloid columnist who's crucifying Whelan in print; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who's alert for Claude's every stumble. Meanwhile, someone's trying to kill Roddy Ho. And over at Slough House, the crew are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. But collectively, they're about to rediscover their greatest strength - that of making a bad situation much, much worse. It's a good job Jackson Lamb knows the rules, because they aren't going to break themselves.
