Never Send Flowers
John Gardner's thirteenth 007 novel
First published in 1993
OVERVIEW
In different corners of the world four high-profile figures are assassinated in less than a week. Nobody links the deaths, but one thing is certain: each of them has been stalked, sought out, and killed with care and preparation. Then a sinister connection is established: a single, blood-tipped rose is sent to each funeral and an unremarkable female agent is murdered in Switzerland. When MI5 come to MI6 to ask for help, M brings in his best.
At first, a weekend abroad seems tempting to James Bond: especially when he’s paired with Flicka von Grusse, an attractive Swiss intelligence officer. But this is a perilous assignment that starts with the mysterious actor David Dragonpol and leads them from Athens to Disneyland Paris and onto an explosive climax.
