Mick Herron is the bestselling and award-winning author of the Slough House novels and has been called "Britain's finest living thriller writer" (Sunday Express). Dolphin Junction collects for the first time his hallmark tension, humour, and suspense in the form of short stories. When a wife abandons her husband under dubious circumstances, he goes in search of her, unprepared for the dark secrets he's about to expose. A beautiful condominium with a top-of-the-line kitchen entices a man. But there is a high cost to this dazzling new existence. A couple goes on a trip in the Derbyshire countryside to distract themselves from the reality that their marriage is on the rocks. There is also a look at Jackson Lamb's background as the boss of Slough House, as well as stories featuring the astute detective Zo? Boehm and her inept partner Joe Silvermann. Herron's skill at skillfully structured storytelling, dark wit, and unexpected surprises shines through in Dolphin Junction.
