What if the most dangerous weapon in a spy's arsenal... was his imagination?

Welcome to Magical Disinformation -- a sharp, satirical spy novel where fiction becomes fact, and the jungle isn't the only place where things get murky.

British intelligence officer Oliver Jardine is stationed in Colombia, living a life of rum-fuelled reports, half-truths, and a passionate affair with local lawyer Veronica Velasco. But when peace is declared with the FARC guerrillas, London decides Colombia is no longer worth watching -- and Jardine is marked for reassignment.

Desperate to stay in paradise, Jardine begins feeding MI6 embellished reports. A little fiction here, a phantom source there. But as his fabrications escalate, so do the unintended consequences. The lines blur. The stakes rise. And soon, his invented intelligence begins to take on a life of its own.

Part political satire, part espionage thriller, this smart, fast-paced novel takes readers from smoky Bogotá bars to remote jungle hideouts -- where loyalty is fluid, danger is real, and truth is a moving target.

?? For fans of Graham Greene, Ross Thomas, and Mick Herron
?? A modern Our Man in Havana for the disinformation age
?? Darkly funny, deeply atmospheric, and inspired by real events

Praise for MAGICAL DISINFORMATION

"Magical Disinformation is a terrific novel that stretches the boundaries of the spy genre with wit, satire, and characters that come to life beyond the confines of the "operation," while the suspense develops not only from the cascade of events but the hearts of its characters in a Colombia that comes to life." -- Michael Frost Beckner, Acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter and award-winning novelist, (SPY GAME & The Spy Game novels)

"Our Man in Havana meets A Clear and Present Danger" -- ARC Book Reviewer

"Essence of Carl Hiassen mixed with a pinch of Le Carré" -- GoodReads Review

"Imagine a work of fiction set in Colombia where the line between real and unreal, fact and fiction no longer exists... Think Waugh, think Greene and then a smattering of de Bernieres and you know what you're in for, a romp of a read which brings a smile to your lips as you enjoy this fast moving tragicomedy." -- Richard McColl, Colombia Calling Podcast

"Forced to choose between a career transfer and love, a spy attempts both by adding imagination to his intelligence reports. With satire and Marquez-esque imagery, Page evokes the colourful experiences of expats in Colombia, bureaucratic hypocrisy and the ease of deception in the age of fake news." -- Lance Karlson, Author of THE NORIEGA TAPES

"As someone with an interest in Colombia and Graham Greene, this was a very satisfying read. And although the title references Garcia Márquez's magical realism style, I'm glad the writing was more Greene than Márquez." -- F.E. Beyer, Author of BUENOS AIRES TRIAD

"A slyly comedic thriller with a good amount of action, suspense and fantastical story on events in Colombia." -- ARC Book Reviewer
