Available for the first time in English, this is an entertaining, if lesser novel of the great master. Unlike Dumas's rollicking historical romances, it is a morality piece, strictly 19th century in tone. Fernande, a beautiful, witty aristocrat, becomes a courtesan after being seduced at a young age by her guardian.
Tiffany Case is the sort of beautiful, devil-may-care blonde who could get a man into deep trouble - if he wanted. She stands between James Bond and the leaders of a diamond-smuggling ring that stretches from Africa via London to the States. Bond uses her to infiltrate this gang, but once in America the hunter becomes the hunted. Bond is in real danger until help comes from an unlikely quarter.
