Magical Disinformation by Lachlan Page

Discover Lachlan Page's Magical Disinformation a spy action-thriller with a satirical edge set amongst the Colombian peace process. Described by one reviewer as Our Man in Havana meets A Clear and Present Danger.

Oliver Jardine is a spy in Colombia, enamoured with local woman Veronica Velasco. As the Colombian government signs a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas, Her Majesty's government decides a transfer is in order to focus on more pertinent theatres of operation. In a desperate attempt to remain in Colombia, Jardine begins to fabricate his intelligence reports. But the consequences soon take on a life of their own. In the era of 'fake news' in the land of magical realism, fiction can be just as dangerous as the truth.

Testimonials

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

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

Imagine a work of fiction set in Colombia where the line between real and unreal, fact and fiction no longer exists...this is what you get when you read author Lachlan Page's debut novel, Magical Disinformation. 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
