  • Slough House, by Mick Herron. John Murray, $32.99.

Mick Herron is Oxford educated, reading English at Balliol College at the same time as Boris Johnson. It is perhaps not surprising that amongst the recurring characters in his acclaimed Slough House series of novels, which are as much political satire as spy thrillers, there is Peter Judd, a former politician, described as "a loose cannon with a floppy haircut and a bicycle".
