About this listen

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.

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 superb story by Mick Heron

Sean Barrett’s reading is, as always, superb. I love these Mick Herron books which fill in gaps as well as telling cracking tales. Good to hear of Bad Sam Chapman and JKCoe in slightly different surroundings.

Excellent

Sean Barrett reads so well. Looking to more from Mick H for him to read

Another good story by Mick Herron

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.

Another brilliant novel

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!

Excellent narrative, brilliant narrator!

Best Narrator

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.

A brilliant noir spy novel

I am convinced that he has taken the torch from Lecare, Ellesontrevor et al as the best writer of espionage novels in his generation

HE NEVER FAILS

Captivating telling of an excellent story. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a very good thriller well written
