Tainted Water (Owen Stone Book 2)
About
They poisoned the water. Now, they want to drown the truth.
When MI5 officer Owen Stone is on holiday in The Dominican Republic he uncovers a water company conspiracy that has a parallel effect back in the UK. The water company’s influence reaches from the corridors of Westminster to the pipelines beneath Britain’s streets.
A foreign-owned water company is hiding more than just corruption. Their pollution is killing people—and their influence runs deeper than anyone imagined. With environmental regulators silenced, government departments compromised, and a shadowy CEO manipulating public opinion, Stone must risk everything to expose the truth.
But when his allies are targeted and his every move is watched, the mission becomes personal. As the pressure mounts, Stone faces a terrifying question: what if the real enemy isn’t just corporate greed, but a new form of power that sees democracy as an inconvenience?
Gripping, timely, and disturbingly plausible, Tainted Water is a high-stakes political thriller for fans of John le Carré, Mick Herron, and Robert Harris.
In a nation paralysed by scandal and division, one man stands between justice and the flood.
Praise for this book
I like a book that takes you places and lets you smell the smells and hear the sounds. This fits the bill and gets more and more exciting and intriguing. I really look forward to my reading opportunities!
I first came across this author with his 'Prophecy Stones' series of fantasy novels, but this is very different in tone and setting. It grips right from the start with its tropical setting, which somehow makes the threat seem worse. Lots of action and chases, with some amazing sequences where the team break into a corporate headquarters. The main character, Owen Stone, is a really heroic figure, but there are other strong figures too. If you like a spy thriller with a believable political element, this book is for you.
Love the style of writing and characters in David’s books. Great plots not over complicated but gripping and tense story lines. Two great books published and looking forward to more
