The List: A Novella
ByPublisher Description
The List can now be found in Standing by the Wall, the collection of other novellas set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Slough House series.
Dieter Hess, an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been keeping a secret second bank account—and there’s only ever one reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may undo an entire career’s worth of spy secrets.
