Li chiamano "i Brocchi". Sono gli uomini di Jackson Lamb, un branco di perdenti, di cavalli azzoppati. Sono gli agenti segreti di serie b, quelli di cui l'Intelligence si vergogna, masticati e rigettati dal sistema per via di qualche incancellabile colpa e ora parcheggiati lontano da Regent's Park in una specie di prigione per falliti, a svolgere compiti infami e a smistare scartoffie in attesa che si sfiniscano da soli e mollino il colpo. Quando un ragazzo musulmano viene rapito, con la minaccia di decapitarlo in diretta sul web, i Brocchi fiutano l'occasione per riscattarsi.

Aragon Urrea ist der Kopf eines großen Drogenhandelsunternehmens in Südtexas. Er ist auch der Mäzen der Region - er bietet Arbeitsplätze in legalen Geschäften, Hilfe für die Hilflosen, grobe Gerechtigkeit für die Unterdrückten und eine Zukunft für ein Volk, das normalerweise wenig Hoffnung hat. Er ist kompliziert - ein nicht ganz so guter Mensch, der aus oft guten Gründen schlechte Dinge tut.

Eine wichtige Mitarbeiterin des Premierministers verschwindet spurlos, und ausgerechnet Claude Whelan, ehemaliger MI5-Chef und als solcher Erzfeind seiner Nachfolgerin Diana Taverner, soll sie finden. Doch die Spur führt ihn direkt zurück zum Hauptquartier im Regent's Park – und über Umwege und etliche Gehässigkeiten zu Jackson Lamb. Mit ihrer unvergleichlichen Mischung aus tiefschwarzem Humor, nerdigem Narzissmus und Chaos bringen die Slow Horses eine instabile Situation endgültig ins Wanken.
