About this eBook
'A first-rate modern thriller' Daily Mail
Set in the same world as Mick Herron's bestselling Slough House thrillers, Nobody Walks introduces JK Coe, a fledgling spy who's about to get a harsh lesson in the realities of life on Spook Street
Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France when he gets a voicemail telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is dead - Liam Bettany fell from his London balcony, where he was smoking pot.
Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago, Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about his son's death. But more than a few people are interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from incarcerated mob bosses to those in the highest echelons of MI5. And some of them - like JK Coe - will have cause to regret his reappearance.
Bettany might have thought he'd left it all behind when he first skipped town, but nobody ever really walks away.

Tom Bettany, former undercover spook is living hand to mouth in France when he hears the news that his only son, Liam has died after falling off his balcony while under the influence of a strong variant of cannabis called Muskrat. Lots of things don't seem right about Liam's death, not least the odd assortment of people who attend his funeral, so Tom starts digging. Read on my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Read the Slough House series first so this filled in some gaps. A bleak ending which, whilst not wholly satisfying, was probably unavoidable. Prose and pace both lovely again. Not my favourite but still very good.

Love Mick Herron Slough House novels. This is the first of his I've read that are not in that series and I think his crazy ideas for a story are beautifully thrown together in a page Turner right to the end.
