‘Slow Horses’ Author Mick Herron Reveals the Secret Origins of Slough House
The ninth book, Clown Town, continues the espionage saga with political intrigue and character-driven plots; the TV series' fifth season premieres on Apple TV+ this month.
- This month Mick Herron published Clown Town, the ninth Slow Horses novel, out September 13, and Slow Horses season 5 streams on Apple TV+ from September 24.
- After a four-book stretch about Zoë Boehm, Herron chose to write Slow Horses in 2008 to focus more on politics and an ensemble cast, though his then-British publisher initially rejected it.
- The books place their misfit spies in Slough House, a dismal MI5 branch office where bungled agents, including flawed MI5 officer Jackson Lamb, portrayed as fat and foul-mouthed by Gary Oldman, are banished.
- Herron says he has been fortunate with screen adaptations and is enthusiastic about Down Cemetery Road, which will screen at the end of next month.
- Season 5, a six-episode run released weekly until October 29, will stream on Apple TV+, and Mick Herron expects the ninth book sometime next year.
