A Too-Secret Agent
His name? Classified. His mission? Unknown. Even to him!
Ettorino Dobecco is a secret agent… or he would be, if he weren’t too secret — even for the Organisation. When a mysterious parcel arrives with his name on it, Ettorino must decide if it’s the beginning of a real mission, or just the biggest swindle of his life. Between confused friends, eccentric grandparents, and an influencer mum who films his every move, this “wrong answer to James Bond” will finally have to step out of the shadows.
A hilarious spin-off to the bestselling Detective Linus series.
