Mick Herron Synopses: Reconstruction is a standalone thriller by Mick Herron. When a gunman breaks into South Oxford Nursery School, taking hostages, teacher Louise Kennedy fears the worst. But Jaime Segura is not looking for a bodycount, and he’s just as scared as his hostages. As the police gather around the school, the only person Jaime will talk to is Ben Whistler, an MI6 accountant who worked with Jaime’s lover, Miro. Miro’s gone missing, along with a quarter of a billion pounds allotted for reconstruction work in Iraq. Jaime refuses to believe that Miro is a thief — though he’s always had his secrets. But then, so does Louise, so do the other hostages — and so do some people on the outside, who want Jaime taken out.

Nobody Walks is a standalone novel by Mick Herron. Tom Bettany’s life unfolds amidst the hum of a meat processing plant in France. Unexpectedly, a voicemail from an unfamiliar Englishwoman shatters his routine, bearing the somber news of his estranged son’s passing. Liam Bettany, just 26, met his end in a tragic fall from his London balcony—a chilling incident linked to his use of marijuana.

Jolted from his routine by this grim revelation, Tom faces a poignant moment. The chasm between him and his son, a void he contributed to, gnaws at him. The weight of guilt and the quest for truth converge, compelling Tom to return to his native London. The journey holds an enigma he is determined to unravel—the truth behind his son’s demise. As he delves into this mystery, he peels away layers of obfuscation. This may stem from a desire to find redemption for the estrangement or perhaps because he has stumbled upon a far-reaching conspiracy. Regardless, Tom embarks on a relentless pursuit to unearth the reality of the tragedy, his unwavering resolve brushing aside the concerns of those he may disconcert.

However, his reentry into the world he once left behind does not go unnoticed. The very fabric of society he thought he’d escaped remains intricately woven, and the mere whisper of his return reverberates across the spectrum—from incarcerated criminal overlords to high-ranking operatives within MI5. The gravity of his journey forces Tom to confront a reality he thought he’d left behind when he initially fled town, a truth that echoes the adage that no one truly walks away from their past.
