Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2010 spy novel by Mick Herron, first in the Jackson Lamb series. Now adapted into a TV show starring Gary Oldman.Slough House is a dumping ground for UK security service MI5; a place where they send the agents who can’t be fired but can’t be trusted with important work. They get tedious, almost pointless desk jobs that might persuade them to quit of their own free will. Conceivably, they might even find something useful for MI5 as well.It’s not in Slough. It’s not even officially named Slough House. But the name stuck. And so the poor unfortunates banished there are known as Slow Horses.Their most recent addition is River Cartwright, a talented young agent from a family that’s practically MI5 royalty. He should have been on the fast-track to success. Instead, he screwed up so badly that even his family connections couldn’t save him. And now he finds himself working for Jackson Lamb, head of Slough House - a burnt out agent who saw the last days of the Cold War in Berlin, then spiralled into failure. Nobody knows exactly why Lamb was banished to Slough House, but now that he’s there his only interest in life seems to be tormenting his new underlings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Slough House does not run ops. Ever. Until someone elsewhere in MI5 asks for a favour. And then a simple little job starts to spiral into a bloody mess. | |

Bad Boss: Jackson Lamb never misses an opportunity to belittle and harass his team. On the other hand, if you actually hurt them, no power on earth will save you from his wrath. | |

Accidental Kidnapping | |
| Slow Horses / int_3e353a08 | comment |
Accidental Kidnapping: It’s not an accidental kidnap, as such, and The Voice of Albion weren’t too fussy about who they grabbed, as long as their victim was from the right demographic. Unfortunately for them, the random victim they picked was Hassan, whose uncle happens to be General Mahmud Gul, second-in-command at Pakistan’s security service, the ISI. | |

Asian and Nerdy: Roderick Ho, Slough House’s technical wizard, fits the bill. Alarmingly good with technology, not so good with social skills or practical matters. | |
