Summary
An MI5 agent vanishes without a trace on foreign soil. A controversial private intelligence agency appears to hold pieces of the puzzle. Slough House -the place where spies go to fade into obscurity- is tasked with putting it all together.
Forced into an unusual alliance, MI5 leans on Elise Clermont, the outsider with secrets of her own. Tasked with uncovering the truth, she’s thrown into the chaos with the rest of the slow horses. The deeper they dig, the harder it is to know who to trust. And questions seem to multiply as the road towards truth stretches out before them.

Summary
‘Ingrid Tearney,’ said a low but assertive voice that she immediately wanted to hear again. And Diana - who had always previously had something to say, and the guile to say it - could only manage to extend her hand automatically so that it might be shaken. It wasn't until she heard herself being spoken for that she realised she still hadn't uttered a word.

A handful of agents too, but none of them like Tearney. She swans into the service, graceful and competent and stunning in tweed. Diana hears about her for weeks before they ever cross paths.

Summary
“Did you think I’d immediately run to Diana as well?”
River tilted his head and squinted. “Well, I think it’s not unreasonable to assume you might have certain… loyalties. No offense.”
“You can’t say ‘no offense’ after saying something fucking offensive, Cartwright. It’s not a Persilschein for being a cunt.”
Take what is yours. Amongst the top one percent of Cybersecurity and Data Analysis firms in the world, Park&Partner experiences a sudden upheaval with the death of CEO Charles Partner. River Cartwright, grandson of a board member, finds himself navigating the ever shifting power dynamics, flimsy alliances, and heartbreaking betrayals that are second nature to the executive floor. Likewise, James Webb has to decide what he is willing to sacrifice for a secure, right hand position to his stepmother, CFO Diana Taverner. But how far is too far? And who gets to draw the line?

Summary
Diana’s ploy for first desk was a masterfully crafted plan, with perfect execution from Diana. Except Diana had made a fatal mistake. She sent slow horses to finish her plan, and they managed to turn the archives into a glue factory.
Or: Ingrid may have won, but she can’t bear to send Diana away. (She does anyway)

Summary
All Emma really knows for certain is that Tearney is a woman worthy of a whole lot of Taverner’s attention. And that knowledge has been churning away for weeks within the pit of her stomach, acidic and seemingly indigestible.

Emma fucks up, but things are a little different this time.

Summary
"After that, there was nothing in the world except her hands tangling in soft, silky hair, that filthy, talented mouth on her, and the caress of the achingly familiar voice still saying her name again and again like a spell. Like a fucking curse with the power to unmake this small world they never acknowledge having built together."
Or:
That awkward feeling when you run out of places to hide in your decades-long, toxic enemies with benefits situation and have to face up to the realisation that you have, in fact, always had Emotions.
