An estate agent has written his first novel – a steamy tale of sex, jealousy and lies, not to mention the everyday thrills and banter of working life.
Secrets of Agent 13, by Chidi Duru, is the story of a young estate agent whose life is changed when a beautiful, twice-divorced and stupendously wealthy woman calls the office for a valuation.
And the appraisal visit is, well, a bit more exciting than most, with Colin Benz – aka Agent 13 – being well and truly put through his paces.
Author Duru, 50, pictured, is the managing director of London estate agency Samanthajane – which he set up 13 years ago and which is named after his wife.
He describes his book’s hero as a young estate agent with big dreams and a willingness to take risks.
As to the book, he thinks other agents would find it a “good read while waiting for that late client to turn up”.
Secrets of Agent 13 is available from Amazon in paperback (374 pages) at £9.50, with Kindle downloads at £2.24.

…the Old Mr Rattly and Veronknicker depicted in the book are purely fictitious. Any similarity to actual events or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
I never gave this Duru fellow permission to write my biography. I shall sue!
Well done. Love good news stories for a change and it certainly won’t have been the only steamy affair in an agency!
