From CWA Gold & Steel Dagger winner Mick Herron comes a shocking, twisted novel of thrilling suspense about one woman’s attempt to be better than ordinary. Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice. Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk. Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero—if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.

ReviewsPraise for Mick Herron "Heroic struggles, less-heroic failures and a shoot-out-cum-heist . . . with no let-up in the page-turning throughout." -- Esquire "A funny, stylish, satirical, gripping story . . . Memorably seedy characters, sharp dialogue, complex plot. I'm hooked." --The Guardian "This is blackly funny, tense and worryingly plausible. The most enjoyable British spy novel in years." --Mail on Sunday "[A] deliciously sleazy and sophisticated spy thriller." --The Irish Times, "Terrific spy novel . . . Sublime dialogue, frictionless plotting." --Ian Rankin, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus books Praise for This Is What Happened "It would be criminal to even hint at the plot of Mick Herron's new thriller This Is What Happened . With not an unnecessary word, Herron conjures a trio of deeply flawed Londoners and sets them hurtling down the path from bad to worse. Before you know it the sickening realization of what is actually happening hooks you like an armful of heroin. This Is What Happened is so fiendishly, perversely addictive that you'll stay up late turning the pages and put the book down begging for more. Mute your phone, lock the door, and put yourself in the hands of a master storyteller." --David Enyeart, Common Good Books Praise for Mick Herron , Winner of the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel & 2017 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger for Best Thriller "Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way . . . In Herron's book, there is no hiding under the desk." The New York Times Book Review "Stylish and engaging." The Washington Post "Heroic struggles, less-heroic failures and a shoot-out-cum-heist . . . with no let-up in the page-turning throughout." -- Esquire "A funny, stylish, satirical, gripping story . . . Memorably seedy characters, sharp dialogue, complex plot. I'm hooked." --The Guardian "This is blackly funny, tense and worryingly plausible. The most enjoyable British spy novel in years." --Mail on Sunday "[A] deliciously sleazy and sophisticated spy thriller." --The Irish Times
