Spook Street
If you loved the British television series Spooks but couldn't really take it seriously, read these books. If you have ever wondered what would happen to trained spies who messed up on the job and wouldn't resign, read these books. These are not books about perfect James Bond types who kill without qualm or the kinds of thrillers in which the hero is beaten regularly but never suffers from concussion. The characters in these books are flawed: they drink, they insult each other, they are socially anxious. And yet - they save the day.
