Be Young Again by Murray Leinster audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In Be Young Again!, Murray Leinster blends a fast-talking con game with a startling scientific gamble when a streetwise teenage narrator gets pulled into one of old Jode's biggest schemes yet. Jode, a seasoned swindler with a taste for big scores and bigger risks, teams up with the cash-strapped Professor Henry Barr, who claims to have recreated an ancient alchemical process that produces an actual Elixir of Youth. Their target is Mr. Vachti, an aging bootleg king with money, muscle, and a hobby of collecting proof that every confidence trick can be punished. If the elixir is fake, Vachti wants the satisfaction of watching the pitchmen go down. If it is real, he wants the chance to buy back his future. As the trio circles each other in wary negotiations, the narrator is sent to handle the practical details and verify what the professor can really do, setting off a chain of tests, close calls, and escalating pressure. With danger tightening by the hour, the story becomes a lively chase through greed, hope, and the high price of cheating time.
