    About this audiobook

    The world since earliest times has always had spies. Information is a valuable commodity and even more so in times of war or tension. Many authors and poets have had real life incarnations as spies from Christopher Marlowe and Aphra Behn to Daniel Defoe.

    But it’s a dangerous game. Working in a murky, secretive world where any trust given could be at the expense of your life.
