Here’s a few spy-tales to take home with you. Five of Le Carre’s early stories in a single (thick) volume and a couple of Len Deighton’s first novels. Also the first in Mick Herron’s ‘Slow Horses’ series which reads just a fraction better than the television series plays it – which means it’s very good indeed. I had the rest of the Slow Horses series, but my sister snaffled them! You have to be quick.
