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.
