The Smugglers

By: J. L. Miller

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sometimes, truth is the most precious commodity that needs to be smuggled out.

Salazaria in 1938 is a South American country ruled by corruption and fear and on the brink of violent revolution. Into this cauldron, two strangers are about to risk everything for the truth—and for each other.

Duke Haskell is an American gambler and smuggler with a chequered and haunted past and a pistol in his pocket.

Rose Forsyth is a British journalist with ink-stained hands and an unshakable belief in justice. When their paths cross, they uncover a trail of brutality, betrayal, and political secrets too dangerous to ignore.

Thrown together when both must urgently flee the country, Duke and Rose are hunted by a brutal regime, encounter hidden enemies, and get entangled with revolutionaries. Unsure of who to trust, relying only on each other, they set out on a dangerous and arduous journey through dangerous jungles and hazardous mountains to escape Salazaria. All the while, the growing pull of mutual attraction and an emotional bond presents another danger they must face on the journey.

Bold, romantic, and sharply written, The Smugglers blends the romantic undercurrent of Casablanca and The African Queen with the action and moral ambiguity of the thrillers of Graham Greene, Eric Ambler or Alistair MacLean.

The Smugglers is a gripping romantic adventure packed with action, intrigue, wit, and heart.
