Oliver Dowson

Oliver Dowson writes fast-paced, globetrotting thrillers set in the shadowy world of industrial espionage, where billion-dollar corporate secrets, rogue fixers, and private operatives replace traditional government spooks.

His insider knowledge isn’t borrowed; it was earned. Before turning to fiction, Oliver spent decades running an international business and has visited 150 countries, collecting bizarre, hair-raising, and entertaining experiences that now fuel his award-winning Repurposed Spies series (The Repurposed Spy, Spies on Safari, and Spies on the Silk Road). His debut non-fiction memoir, There’s No Business Like International Business, chronicled that earlier life on the road.

When he isn’t plotting international intrigue, Oliver mentors cross-border startups, experiments in the kitchen, and divides his time between London and northern Spain - usually with a bag packed for the next flight out.
