In the wake of recent Le Carre adaptations of The Night Manager and Our Kind of Traitor, British espionage fiction is enjoying a bit of a renaissance. Here, we bring together two of the best writers in the genre. Twenty years retired, David Cartwright can still spot when the stoats are on his trail. Radioactive secrets and unfinished business go with the territory in Mick Herron’s Spook Street. Cartwright has always known there would be an accounting. And he’s not as defenceless as they might think. In Chris Morgan Jones’s The Searcher, Isaac Hammer is under arrest. The police have proof that his company, a private London intelligence agency, has broken a dozen laws – tapping phones, hacking emails, bribing police – and now he must face the consequences.
