London Rules

At Regent`s Park, the Intelligence Service HQ, new First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the job the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered Prime Minister, he`s 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 showboat`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, the country`s being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks. Over at Slough House, the last stop for washed up spies, 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 - making a bad situation much, much worse.
