Another side story of the Slow Horses - a prequel to JK Coe joining the crew later. But now - he is new to MI5 and brought in as a third to find out what he can about a lits of names affiliated with a secret bank account that was discovered after the death of an agent. 
As usual - Diana Taverna and the person she asked to investigate can’t figure it out - Coe gets involved - which leads hint o Slough House to talk to Jackson Lamb - and within minutes - Lamb identifies why the list exists and why the particular people were chosen. 
The entire story isn’t about Lamb - but still enjoyable.
