In Mick Herrons first book set fully in the spy world we are introduced to the slow horses. These are the misfits and goofballs of MI5 who are shunted off to a dingy little building to. The story moves between several levels at the same time. It is neither a house nor is it in Slough but as the joke about the etymology of the name goes a discussion and gossip between spies that runs.
