In a peaceful Oxford neighborhood, when a house suddenly blows up and a young girl goes missing following the chaos, local resident Sarah Tucker becomes consumed with discovering her whereabouts and recruits the assistance of private detective Zoë Boehm for help.

Zoë and Sarah unexpectedly discover themselves entangled in a perplexing web of deceit, uncovering secrets suggesting some thought to be deceased are actually alive, while many of the living appear destined to meet their end.

Enthusiasts of Slow Horses will undoubtedly find more information about Down Cemetery Road intriguing, as they eagerly await the premiere of season 4.

The showrunner of that particular series, Will Smith, hinted at the possibility of adapting all nine books from Mick Herron’s Slough House series, and there might even be plans for a spin-off in development.

“Gary wants to keep going for as long as he’s asked,” Smith said. “He loves playing the character.”
