Trigger Mortis (with original material by Ian Fleming) Anthony Horowitz

Trigger Mortis slots in neatly between Fleming’s ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘Thunderball.’

James Bond has whisked Pussy Galore back to London with him but their affair is rapidly losing its lustre and a new assignment beckons. Bond must protect England’s most famous racing driver from Russian sabotage. 

During his training and at the famous Nürburgring, Bond encounters driver Logan Fairfax and motoring journalist Jeopardy Lane. SMERSH rears its ugly head causing Bond to focus on their associate Jason Sin, a Korean millionaire who deals death using a pack of cards. Sin has classified photographs of a U.S. Vanguard rocket and Bond suspects a plan to destroy it on the launchpad. He doesn’t know how wrong he is.

Trigger Mortis is vintage Bond, with all the style, girls, car chases and thrills Fleming’s (and Horowitz’s) fans could ask for.

For those of you curious to know the 'original material' comes from a script Fleming wrote for a T.V show that never got past the pilot stage.
