An agent of a covert US government service has gone rogue. The only person they trust is mild-mannered journalist and internet personality Andrew Maven. Reluctantly teaming up with a veteran spy known only as Rust, Maven is forced to leave the comfort of his podcast studio for the unforgiving world of espionage. The scoop of a lifetime lures the news hound deeper into the unknown, as he sinks beneath Manhattan's elite underworld to reveal a story with far more sinister consequences. Can Maven pierce the information barrier of the secretive government agency intent on stringing him along? How will his dry wit, pop-culture smarts and fear of guns mesh with the American espionage experience? If his tingling spider-sense is on the mark, the truth at the centre of The Spy and the Maven will change the world as we know it
