About this listen

A professional confessional like no other, The Secret Agent plunges us into the face-paced, high-stakes and glamorous world of London's super-prime property business.

Spanning the course of a year, Max - the alias of London's most exclusive property agent - guides us through the unimaginable highs and bank-breaking lows of his business, where houses sell for up to £170 million and discretion is key.

With a client list that includes a Booker Prize winner, several Oscar nominees, a stadium-filling musician, an HRH, two national treasures, a supermodel, a Duke, a Duchess, and untold FTSE board members and titans of business, there is never a dull moment for Max and his team - John, Damien and Nicola - as they negotiate both huge property deals in the office, and their complex personal lives outside of it.

Offering an insider's view into the hidden machinations of this exclusive market, The Secret Agent sees Max attempt to balance his team, his own needs and, of course, the books against his ever-demanding clients, as he showcases the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre nature of the real-estate market of the super-rich.

Critic reviews

A hugely fun tale of how the super-rich buy their super-prime lairs - I was absolutely boggled throughout. Toto, I have a feeling we're not on Rightmove anymore . . . (Marina Hyde)

A gloriously entertainingly glimpse behind the closed doors of the high-end house market. I never knew property could be so riveting (Prue Leith)

Downloaded this book for the Narrator, Dominic Allen, and wasn't too fussed about what it was about. But oh, wow! It surpassed my expectations! The Secret Agent writes such a witty journal about his life as a Letting Agent and what goes on within the higher wage bracket is much more interesting than you think. I even ended up becoming quite fond of Max and his love life and hope that he's got the happy Love, Actually happy ending that he deserves. Dominic Allen is an incredible Narrator and brilliant Voice Actor! 👏 Loved every minute of listening to this.
