When opposition MP HARRY COLBEY uncovers a corrupt plot between senior government ministers and a big tech organisation intent on enriching its owners, he finds himself the target of a strange form of harassment. His train pass and credit cards won't work, his phone won't get signal and every traffic light he comes to is red. Only his colleague, ESME KANHA, believes him. She's investigating the suspicious death of another anti-corruption MP.

But when Colbey's daughter gets engaged to the son of one of the tech company's owners, he is forced to venture straight into the heart of the sinister elite. Colbey intends to expose them – but in a world dominated by AI, where every movement is tracked and every conversation listened to, the stakes are dangerously high.

The ‘terrifying’ conclusion to the Kanha and Colbey thriller series.

📖 My Review..

Having read books one and two in quick succession, this last book in the trilogy starts where book two finishes, and so for that reason I’m suggesting that this is definitely a series that needs to be read from the beginning as that way this terrifying conclusion to the story is all the more powerful.

MPs Harry Colbey and Esme Kanha are still in pursuit of those corrupt individuals who are beguiled by the promise of power and the possibility of untold wealth however, with the ever growing dependency on artificial intelligence the country is on an inevitable path to disaster. The scary nature of AI is controlled in such an utterly believable way that you can sense the rumble of the watchful drones as they circle overhead and no-one is safe from their scrutiny or the deadly interference of AI controlled smart devices.

With time running out both Colbey and Kanha have a difficult task ahead of them especially as more MPs are drawn into the web of deceit created by the powerful elite group who control the way artificial intelligence is integrated into every part of people’s lives. Tensions run high especially when Colbey gets inextricably drawn into the very centre of this elite group and their deadly secrets become more exposed. I particularly enjoyed how all the multiple threads of the plot started to come together and with an increasing sense of doom there was really only one way I wanted the story to end. Totally believable, and utterly terrifying in its complexity, I only wish we had MPs like Harry Colbey and Esme Kanha who could rescue us from the bad guys.

Exciting, and imaginative, this clever political thriller kept me entertained from start to finish. It is definitely a worthy conclusion to a crime thriller trilogy which really packs a punch.
