# Standing by the Wall: The Collected Slough House Novellas - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Mick Herron** (Author)

**At last in one volume: the collected Slough House spy novellas, including the never-before-published Christmas interlude _Standing by the Wall._**

Espionage. Blackmail. Revenge. Cunning. Slapstick. State secrets dating back to the fall of the Berlin Wall. All this and more in a tight package of five novellas by Mick Herron, CWA Gold Dagger-winning author of Slow Horses. From the troubled recruitment of a new MI5 informant to a botched information transfer, Herron's novellas capture the drama, humor, and high stakes of everyday life in the world of spycraft, a world rife with both legends and secrets, where thrill-seeking and loneliness are ubiquitous and deadly, and where the lines between friends, enemies, and lovers are perpetually blurred by circumstance and subterfuge.

For fans new and old, _Standing by the Wall_ is an excellent introduction to the extended literary universe of Mick Herron's _Slow Horses_. Collection includes: _The List_, _The Marylebone Drop_, _The Catch_, _The Last Dead Letter_, and _Standing by the Wall_.
