Praise for Lou Gilmond's Dirty Geese series:
'Compelling from the outset' -PRECARIOUS GOTHIC
'The constant presence of AI creates a foreboding atmosphere' -CRIME FICTION LOVER
'Ripples throughout with an undercurrent of suspense and tension' -@AMWBOOKS'
'A sharp political thriller about the very plausible rise in the use of AI' -@BOOKSFROMMYSHED

When opposition back bencher Harry Colbey uncovers a corrupt plot between senior government ministers and a big tech organisation intent on enriching its owners, he finds himself at the mercy of deep fake accusations that are spinning out of control. Only Esme Kanha, opposition Chief Whip, believes his protestations of innocence. In a race against time, she must clear his name and expose what is really going on - but in a world dominated by AI, where their every movement is tracked and every conversation listened to, the stakes are dangerously high.

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.

WHAT CAN SEE WATCHES, WHAT CAN HEAR LISTENS - the gripping first instalment of the Kanha and Colbey Thriller series.

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.
