Owen Stone
Espionage. Political corruption. Technology in the wrong hands.
British intelligence officer Owen Stone is drawn into threats that begin with individual crimes but lead into something much larger. Across Britain and beyond, he faces people prepared to exploit governments, technology and fear for their own ends.
Each Owen Stone thriller tells a complete story, while Owen's life and career continue across the series.
Unattended Untouched Misspoken
British intelligence officer Adam Niels is used to keeping secrets. But when a friend is murdered, he finds himself drawn into a conspiracy stretching from London to Minsk, involving hidden surveillance, diplomatic corruption and a Belarusian operation threatening European cyber security.
As Adam searches for the truth, the investigation brings him into contact with Owen Stone, an intelligence officer whose role will become increasingly important as events unfold.
Hunted by professional killers and uncertain who can be trusted, they must uncover what lies behind three seemingly simple words before those responsible silence them.
The first Owen Stone thriller, and the novel that introduces the character who will go on to lead the series.
They poisoned the water. Now they want to drown the truth.
Owen Stone is supposed to be recovering on holiday in the Dominican Republic. Instead, he discovers evidence linking contaminated water, intimidation and violence to HydraFlow, a powerful international water company.
What begins as a local investigation soon reaches Britain, where the same company has influence stretching from the pipelines beneath the streets to the corridors of Westminster. Regulators are silenced, government departments compromised and those who threaten HydraFlow find themselves in danger.
Owen must expose a conspiracy protected by money, political influence and fear, before the damage becomes irreversible.

Invite to Hate
The hate came fast. The silence made it deadly.
Across Britain, women’s groups are under siege. Coordinated online abuse is spreading, misogynistic influencers are reaching an increasingly young audience, and hatred that begins on a screen is spilling into the real world.
Still recovering from his previous mission, MI5 officer Owen Stone begins to see a pattern. Behind the individual voices lies something far more organised: a network using social media, algorithms and influence to turn resentment into anger and anger into action.
More disturbing still, politicians and community leaders who once challenged the rhetoric are beginning to repeat it.
Owen knows this is no longer simply an online culture war. People are dying, and unless he can uncover who is driving the campaign, hatred may become something far harder to stop.
Mind Harvest
When truth can be manufactured, who decides what the world believes?
A deepfake broadcast declares war in Britain’s name. The Prime Minister did not authorise it. The military did not move. Yet within minutes, markets buckle, alliances fracture and governments prepare to retaliate against an enemy that may not exist.
MI5 officer Owen Stone is sent to Indonesia to trace the source of the signal. What he discovers is more dangerous than a conventional cyberattack. Someone has developed a weapon capable of manipulating belief itself, persuading people to question what is real until evidence and authority cease to matter.
At its centre is Sophia, a woman whose voice can generate a signal capable of reshaping perception. She does not know what has been done to her, but rival powers do, and they are determined to control her.
As intelligence agencies race to contain the threat, Owen finds himself cut off, outpaced and operating almost blind. Beside him is a child whose quiet presence may prove to be the one variable nobody anticipated.
When belief becomes the weapon, survival depends on who controls the signal.
