YACHERUB series.
James (The Recruit) is sent on a mission to befriend the son of a drug lord in order to bring down the man's criminal empire. Invited abroad on holiday with the kingpin's family, James gets in over his head and struggles to keep his cover. Though the dialogue tends toward overexplanation, the teen-spy action will compel readers.
