Description

Jackson Lamb is on his way to Oxford, where a former spook has turned up dead on a bus. The victim, Dickie Bow, was a talented streetwalker once, good at following people and bringing home their secrets. But he's not an obvious target for assassination in the here and now. A cryptic message on his phone hints at an old-time Moscow-style op being run in the Intelligence Service's backyard.

Once a spook, always a spook, and even being dead doesn't mean you can't uncover secrets. Lamb and his crew of no-hopers are about to go live, following in Dickie's footsteps to uncover the truth. The spycraft of John le Carré is on full display, refracted through the blackly comic vision of Joseph Heller's Catch-22.

A gripping spy thriller that combines the best of British espionage with a dash of dark humour, Dead Lions is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
