The Smuggler's Apprentice of Guatemala (Oliver Jardine Series) / Oliver Jardine Series (ePub)

From the author of Magical Disinformation and The General of Caracas comes a quirky, addictive spy novella about a backpacker who is recruited by MI6 to uncover a smuggling network.

In London, the clandestine digital corridors of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) are thrown open as a list of intelligence officers is leaked online.

With the identities of intelligence officers blown, and a secretive smuggling network developing in Guatemala, MI6 decides to recruit a British national already on the ground. Someone young, someone with street smarts, someone who already knows the language, and the lie of the land. Enter: Oliver Jardine, a backpacker currently working for an NGO in the highlands of central Guatemala.

What happens next sets in motion a series of events that sees Jardine propelled into the world of international espionage as he is drawn deep into a web of contraband, secrets, and danger in the jungles of Guatemala. Only he has no idea what he's doing.

Based on a true story, a spy novella that'll leave you wanting more. For fans of Mick Herron, Ross Thomas, and Ian Fleming. A perfect 2-hour short read in the spy genre.
