Synopsis

Ronald Jones planned a quiet retirement holiday in Latin America. Mr Smith had other plans.
After decades of teaching, chronic anxiety, and quiet routine, Ronald Jones is ready to leave his past behind. His plan is simple: buy a ticket to Brazil, revisit the haunts of his youth, and finally see the world on his own terms.
Then the enigmatic Mr. Smith appears at his front door.
Recruited against his will into a shadow war he doesn't understand, Jones is thrust into a lethal web of ruthless handlers, deceptive agents, and shifting allegiances. Armed only with an ordinary mind and zero field training, a retired schoolteacher becomes Britain’s most unlikely secret agent - and finds himself dangerously out of his depth.
From the vibrant streets of South America to the shadowy corridors of global espionage, Jones must outsmart professional killers just to stay alive. But in a game where everyone wears a disguise, the greatest danger might be discovering why they chose him in the first place.
Fast-paced, witty, and packed with relentless twists, The Repurposed Spy is a fresh take on classic espionage for fans of Mick Herron and Ian Fleming.
The Repurposed Spy is the thrilling first instalment in The Repurposed Spies series.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Following a long business career building and managing companies in many countries around the world, Oliver has now turned my hand to being an author. His first book, a travelogue "There's no business like International Business" was published in Spring 2022, recounting some of the unlikely and entertaining experiences he had in my business travels. His second book is a novel, "The Repurposed Spy", and Oliver is already busy writing the sequel, provisionally titled "Spies on Safari".Oliver's Number One passion is travel, and he has travelled extensively in over 140 countries, both for pleasure and business. He is also an enthusiastic amateur cook, and continues to dabble in international business matters. Evidence of these passions runs through Oliver's books. Born in Lowestoft, the most easterly town in England, Oliver moved to London when he went to university, and has lived there ever since. He studied Mathematics at Imperial College, then had a variety of jobs through my 20s, with a common theme of international business. In the early 80s he co-founded EnTech, an energy management consultancy, and then over the next 30 years developed that into a small multi-national, the first and biggest specialist energy and environmental data management company, with offices in ten countries.Now semi-retired, Oliver also provides some pro-bono support to young upcoming business people, writes articles on topics of interest, hosts the Grow through International Expansion podcast series and relaxes through cooking and travelling.Married with one son, and, so far, two granddaughters, he lives between London and Oviedo Spain when he's not travelling further afield!
