"Political corruption and big-tech trouble — this edgy thriller teems with secrets, lies, AI menace, and the buzz of a race against time."
Lou Gilmond’s Palisade — the second book in the Kanha and Colbey thriller series — presents an addictively twisting tale of political corruption and high-stakes personal peril.
Set in a sinister — but increasingly recognisable — world in which all our moves can be tracked and scrutinised, the plots thicken fast when backbencher Harry Colbey, a known anti-big-tech campaigner — receives a set of data that shocks even him.
At the same time, Esme Kanha, the Chief Whip of the opposition, is sent a top-secret dossier that could expose corruption of the most rotten-to-the-core kind.
There’s a lot of layered character detail here, and the subject matter of big tech control and AI domination is timely and thought-provoking. As such, Palisade is no fly-by-night thriller. Rather, it’s an intricate, readable series fans of political thrillers will relish being in for the long-haul.

WHAT CAN SEE WATCHES, WHAT CAN HEAR LISTENS, WHAT CAN BE FOLLOWED IS TRACKED…
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…
