The Risk Register: A Daniel Mercer Mystery
A Daniel Mercer Mystery
Some risks aren't managed.
They're buried.
When investigative journalist Ella Shaw obtains a bundle of historical government documents through a routine Freedom of Information request, she expects another story about Britain's troubled water industry.
Instead, she discovers something that doesn't add up.
A forgotten report.
A missing assumption.
A discrepancy hidden in plain sight for more than thirty years.
Unable to shake the feeling that something important has been overlooked, she turns to Daniel Mercer, a recently retired Serious Fraud Office investigator with a reputation for noticing what everyone else misses.
What begins as a technical anomaly soon reveals a disturbing possibility: generations of politicians, civil servants and regulators may have known about a flaw at the heart of Britain's infrastructure system-and chosen not to confront it.
As Mercer follows a trail of redacted files, vanished reports and carefully managed truths, he finds himself facing a question far larger than corruption:
What if the people who concealed the truth believed they were protecting the country?
Intelligent, timely and unsettlingly plausible, THE RISK REGISTER is the first Daniel Mercer Mystery-a gripping British thriller about power, responsibility and the consequences of decisions that never truly disappear.
Perfect for readers of Robert Harris, Mick Herron, John le Carr and Michael Connelly.
