Summary
Set in the same world as Mick Herron's bestselling Slough House thrillers, Nobody Walks introduces JK Coe, a fledgling spy who's about to get a harsh lesson in the realities of life on Spook Street
Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France when he gets a voicemail telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is dead - Liam Bettany fell from his London balcony, where he was smoking pot.
Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago, Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about his son's death. But more than a few people are interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from incarcerated mob bosses to those in the highest echelons of MI5. And some of them - like JK Coe - will have cause to regret his reappearance.
Bettany might have thought he'd left it all behind when he first skipped town, but nobody ever really walks away.

Another superb story by Mick Heron
Compelling narrative and interesting characters. A reluctant hero and some unpleasant villains. All written with the author’s unique style and language. Beautifully read as always by Sean Barrett.

Another brilliant novel
I have enjoyed all the Slough House novels by Mick Herron and so wanted to read a more stand alone novel to compare and was not disappointed. Great story of revenge and darker than Slough house but still featuring some familiar characters. Sean Barrett superb narration as usual made it a great listen.

Excellent narrative, brilliant narrator!
This is a gripping adjunct to the Slough House series, in that it references some of the characters who inhabit 'The Park', as well as introducing a very jaded, yet lethally effective new spook. The descriptions of London are faithfully drawn, the ambiguity of the characters motives are realistic and the narrator is excellent. The ending though, seemed rushed and annoyingly inconclusive. We need a sequel!

Fabulous
After listening to this, I'm inspired to read everything the author has written as the quality of the writing, the story itself and, the presentation were exceptional. I'm glad to find my mission may take some time.

Undeniably Herron
Forget the story - as good though it be - and forget Sean Barrett's exquisite narration - were author and narrator ever so beautifully matched? - and simply enjoy the immaculate literary construction, assembled by literary master-builder at the peak of his powers. Astonishingly good!!

Compelling characters in criminal conspiracies
I picked this up for to fill in the backstory to one of the slow horses characters as I work my way happily through those. If anything this story is grittier and more plausible than those. Quite dark. The central character, Bettany, a spent spy, is beautifully rendered. Herron’s prose is excellent. The reading is clear and the cast well drawn by the narrator. This is up there with Red File for Callan, for me. Though unlike the Callan books there will be no sequel I imagine, as the title insinuates.

A brilliant noir spy novel
Beautifully written, as Mick Heron’s books always are, and this is as much a reason for this novel’s brilliance as the characters and plot. Loved it.
