The Secret Adversary

Title: The Secret Adversary Author: Agatha Christie Narrator: Jennifer Cramer Publisher: Golden Age Mystery Audio

Description: In the aftermath of the Great War, London is a city of shadows, teeming with unemployed soldiers and restless spirits. Among them are Thomas Beresford and Prudence Cowley-better known as Tommy and Tuppence-two "young adventurers" who are "stony broke" and desperate for excitement. Their luck changes when they form a daring partnership: The Young Adventurers Limited, willing to go anywhere and do anything for a price.

Their first assignment plunges them into a world of international espionage and political peril. At the heart of the mystery is a missing girl named Jane Finn, who disappeared during the sinking of the Lusitania carrying documents that could topple the British government. As Tommy and Tuppence track her down, they find themselves hunted by a shadowy criminal mastermind known only as Mr. Brown. From the fog-drenched streets of Soho to the grand mansions of Mayfair, the duo must use every ounce of their wit and courage to unmask the secret adversary before it is too late. This is the debut of Christie's most beloved investigative pair, a tale of high-octane suspense and charming 1920s wit.
