Inhaltsangabe

'This rollicking addition to the spy fiction genre feels very contemporary, with its noir atmosphere and egg-stained mundanity reminiscent of TV ratings smash Slow Horses' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

‘This is a smart, surprising debut that delights in the detail - and lingers long after the final page.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

‘It’s full of brilliantly weird characters, and fast-paced storytelling of the highest order’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review

A dark comedic, espionage thriller - perfect for fans of Damascus Station and Slow Horses.

Ian Taylor looks like a man clinging to the shallow end of life.

Some people lead double lives. Ian Taylor looks like he can barely manage one.
Mid-fifties. Overweight. Frequently mistaken for someone who sleeps in a skip. He works in Post Office marketing, wears trousers that defy classification, and considers salad cream a food group. His dog respects him. Nobody else does.
To neighbours, colleagues, and his long-suffering family, Ian is a mild embarrassment – the sort of man you avoid sitting next to on public transport.
But look a little closer. Scratch beneath the gravy-stained surface and the half-mumbled jokes. Something doesn’t quite add up.
Why does the dog obey him with such utter devotion?
Why is he never on social media?
And why, when things go bump in the night… does Ian always seem to know exactly what to do

The Postmaster General is a darkly comic novel of secrets, suburbia and suspicious porridge. Because sometimes the most dangerous people are the ones nobody sees coming.
