Join internationally bestselling author Mick Herron for a conversation about Clown Town, the latest novel set in the world of Slow Horses.
Returning to Slough House, Herron reunites readers with the unforgettable Jackson Lamb and his team of disgraced MI5 agents as they are drawn into another mess of institutional failure, hidden agendas, and political farce.
As ever, incompetence proves as dangerous as malice. Best known for the Slow Horses series — now a global TV sensation — Herron brings his trademark wit, moral bite, and dark humour to a story that skewers power while delivering a tightly wound, unsettling thriller.
Hosted by Claire Nichols (ABC Radio National’s The Book Show)
Q&A and book signing will occur after the author talk.
Tickets include a glass of delicious, biodynamic Cullen Wines or non-alcoholic beverage on arrival.
Thank you to our event partners;
