The Smuggler's Apprentice of Guatemala: A novella

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

A backpacker. An intelligence leak. A job offer from MI6 he can't refuse.From the author of 'Magical Disinformation' and 'The General of Caracas' comes a sharp, fast-paced spy novella with a twist of dry humour and a backpack full of trouble.When the names of MI6 officers are leaked online, Her Majesty's Sercret Intelligence Service (SIS) scrambles to find a solution. In the Guatemalan highlands, far from London and even farther from protocol, Oliver Jardine—British, bilingual, and blissfully inexperienced—is recruited on the spot. He’s young. He’s on the ground. And most importantly, he’s expendable.

Tasked with infiltrating a shadowy smuggling ring deep in the jungle, Jardine is suddenly thrown into a covert world of secrets, surveillance, and shifting loyalties. The problem? He has no spy training. No weapon. And barely a clue what he’s doing.

But sometimes that’s exactly what makes someone useful.

Inspired by true events, this quirky, addictive novella is perfect for fans of Mick Herron, Ross Thomas, and classic Ian Fleming with a modern edge.
