Description
Standing by the Wall is a Slough House Interlude, a Christmas short story from the Sunday Times number one bestseller of BAD ACTORS. In this tale, the intelligence service's home for inept spies, Slough House, is getting into the holiday spirit. Roddy Ho, the team's go-to expert for miracles, is entrusted with a photograph that needs doctoring, but what makes Lamb want to alter it remains unclear.
As Christmas approaches, the slow horses at Slough House are faced with the usual hostilities, but this is the secret service, not Secret Santa. The team's festive season is marked by an increase in tensions, and the question on everyone's mind is: are they having Christmas drinks, and if so, where? Standing by the Wall offers a glimpse into the kind of seasonal merriment you might expect at Slough House.
With its unique blend of espionage and suspense, Standing by the Wall is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. This 64-page paperback is a perfect addition to any collection of thrillers and mystery novels.
