Description
When Chief Whip Esme Kanha learns of the sudden death of the Minister for Personal Information, she bitterly regrets missing his desperate calls the previous evening. Unconvinced by the verdict of suicide, and suspicious that corrupt colleagues played some part in the man’s death, she decides to investigate – but she must tread carefully in a near-future world dominated by technology, where ‘what can see watches, what can hear listens, and what can be followed is tracked’.
Meanwhile, Big Tech executive Henri Lauvaux arrives in London. His mission: to ensure the new minister, Harry Colbey, will not prove as problematic as the last. As the West inexorably slides towards an Orwellian ‘Big Brother’ future, Harry Colbey and Esme Kanha join forces in a deadly cat-and-mouse game against political corruption – at great cost to themselves.

'The page turning tension of this chilling near-future thriller never lets up. Once started, the chances are you’ll devour this pulsating novel in a single sitting and be hungry for the next in the series’ —G.D. Sanders, author of The Taken Girls

Very enjoyable but probably a little involved for some.
This has elements of procedural with very deft twists.
A satisfying read, I would be interested in further novels.
Tracey D, Reviewer
Dirty Geese is a non-stop near-future political thriller in which the public right to privacy runs smack into the greed and control of dirty politicians and technologies that go far beyond any ‘big brother’ previously imagined.
If you are looking for a fast, engaging read with plenty of action and ethical dilemmas to engage your little grey cells in ways that may keep you up at night, you’ll surely enjoy Dirty Geese.
As the first book in the Kanha and Colbey Thriller series, here’s to more from the mind of Gilmond!
