The Harrow

The funny, gripping thriller shortlisted for The Orwell Prize 2025
Funny, fast-paced and nostalgic for the drunken glories of journalism, The Harrow is to local news what Slow Horses is to international espionage.

Shortlisted for The Orwell Prize for Fiction 2025, a darkly comic novel of subterfuge, whisky glasses, and the drive of an underdog to find the truth, no matter the consequences.

Welcome to the The Harrow, last survivor of London's once-notorious muckraking magazines. John Salmon, its battle-hardened editor, and his misfit journalists have fought for years to keep it alive, but extinction looms.

Neither the arrival of trainee Danny Roth nor a local gangland killing looks set to change that. But as John reluctantly allows Danny to investigate the murder, they soon find themselves entangled in a story that could save The Harrow - but might cost them their lives.

A brilliantly plotted crime mystery full of larger-than-life characters from the seamy underbelly of modern London.
