OVERVIEW

It’s M’s funeral. One man is missing from the graveside: the traitor who pulled the trigger and who is now in custody, accused of M’s murder – James Bond. Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion’s den – but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives?

In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means death, James Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.

REVIEWS

‘A polished page-turner. This is popular fiction at its most accomplished, purring along with the sleek assurance of an Aston Martin. All the ingredients of a cracking spy story’

The Guardian

‘A masterpiece. It’s literary thriller writing at its page-turning finest. Exciting high drama, Horowitz stays loyal to the fabulous Fleming formula’

The Daily Express

‘Horowitz writes Bond in the style of Fleming. Total brain candy in the best possible fashion’

RTE Guide

‘A timeless Bond… all the elements of a rollicking read. Horowitz’s light touch and smooth plotting create something close to the ideal holiday read’

Irish Examiner

‘Even better than Trigger Mortis… it is tremendous fun. Anthony Horowitz has the discipline and skill of a first-class action writer’

Sunday Express

‘Horowitz proves himself so adept at getting inside the iconic character, and Fleming’s writing style, that it’s difficult to see the join. Rip-roaringly recommended’

Hot Press

‘Exactly what 007’s fans deserve. Bond is just like we remember him, just like Fleming wrote him. The story could have come out of the Ian Fleming playbook, too: a nasty villain, plenty of action, and a sly sense of humor. This would make an excellent Sean Connery Bond movie, if such a thing were still possible’
