Description
When opposition Chief Whip Esme Kanha is handed a secret dossier containing evidence of government corruption, she suspects its original owner, a top journalist, was murdered for gathering it. Despite the danger, she feels she must investigate. Meanwhile, lowly backbencher Harry Colbey is working his own leads. A known campaigner against big tech, he is often sent data from anonymous sources and this time round he has something truly alarming.
But both Colbey and Kanha must tread carefully in a world dominated by AI, where ‘what can see watches, what can hear listens, and what can be followed is tracked’.
As Kanha and Colbey again join forces, they are locked into a deadly race against political corruption, no matter what the cost. But when an old enemy returns, it may already be too late…

Advance Praise
‘I love books that show me behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. And this book does it brilliantly. Read and enjoy!’ — Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC, Author of Unlawful Killings: Life, Love and Murder: Trials at the Old Bailey
‘From a stunning opening, through twists and turns of political and commercial intrigue, the page turning tension of this chilling near-future thriller never lets up’ — G.D. Sanders, author of The Taken Girls
‘This book grabbed me from the very start. A tense, clever, suspenseful pager-turner with characters that jump off the page, and a chilling and plausible contemporary premise’ — Aliya Ali-Afzal, author of the Would I Lie To You?
‘Dirty Geese is a taut thriller for our times. In a backstabbing Westminster, chief whip Esme Kanha and new minister Harry Colbey must pick their way through a political landscape mined by AI and patrolled by a wolfish, dissolute PM. Lou Gilmond expertly conjures up a shiny, fake tech future that is becoming more jarringly real by the day. — Martin Hickman, author of Dial M for Murdoch
‘This political thriller set in the near-future feels so very authentic it pulses with provocative power. Artificial intelligence when in the hands of the corrupt proves to be deadly as Chief Whip Esme Kanha, and new Minister for Personal Information Harry Colbey, attempt to challenge the politically corrupt. Author Lou Gilmond immediately caught me in a web of intrigue, this is a future that feels imminent, credible, and so all the more chilling. The story takes you into the shadows, behind the public face of those in power. The characters are vivid on the page, each introduction adds a convincing element in a world dominated by unscrupulous greed. There is a wonderful balance to be found here, between plausible and entertaining. I found myself in that lovely reading position of wanting to race through to discover what happened, while also savouring every word. Highly recommended, Dirty Geese is so smart and dramatic it makes for a heady and addictive read.‘ — Love Reading

Kathryn M, Reviewer
This was a strong sequel in the Kanha and Colbey Thriller series. It uses the story element perfectly with what I wanted and was hooked from the first page, it uses what I enjoyed from the previous book. Lou Gilmond was able to create a story that I was invested in and kept me on the edge of my seat.
