Description

James Bond is back with a bang in Penguin Classics, in the new Crime & Espionage series.

'It is not just a question of blowing up a building or shooting a prime minister. Such bourgeois horseplay is not contemplated. Our operation must be delicate, refined and aimed at the heart of the Intelligence apparat of the West.'

Deep inside the Soviet Union, a plot to ruin the British secret service takes shape. Under the guidance of the appalling Rosa Klebb, the spy-killing agency SMERSH devises a trap that will not only assassinate the formidable James Bond but also discredit everything he seemed to stand for.

The trap is set in Istanbul—a beautiful girl, an invaluable Soviet coding machine—and lurking in the shadows, the psychopath, Grant.

During the Second World War Ian Fleming (1908-1964) was assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral Godfrey, and in that role played a key part in British and Allied espionage operations. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and this was followed by a new Bond every year until his death. His books have sold over 100 million copies.
