Trigger Mortis

Literary legend James Bond returns to his 1950s heyday in this exhilarating thriller by Sunday Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz.

Set in the year 1957, Trigger Mortis picks up right where Goldfinger left off. James Bond, agent 007, has once again narrowly escaped death after his tense clash with the infamous Auric Goldfinger at Fort Knox. By his side is the enigmatic Pussy Galore, a woman as mysterious as she is captivating. As they recover from their ordeal, the world outside is embroiled in a covert battle for technological dominance between the USSR and the West. In the middle of this fierce rivalry, the insidious Soviet counter-intelligence agency, known as SMERSH, re-emerges with a nefarious plan.

SMERSH's latest plot involves sabotaging a prestigious Grand Prix race held on Europe's most perilous track. Bond finds himself thrust into the high-octane world of motor racing, where speed is both ally and enemy. Unexpectedly, he witnesses a clandestine meeting between a SMERSH operative and Jai Seong Sin, a sinister Korean millionaire with dubious intentions. This chance observation propels Bond into a new and perilous mission, uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to cripple the West.

With the stakes higher than ever, Bond reunites with familiar faces, including the unwavering M and the ever-faithful Miss Moneypenny. Anthony Horowitz masterfully recreates the golden age of Bond, offering readers a heady mix of breakneck speed, palpable danger, formidable women, and menacing villains. In a thrilling narrative, Trigger Mortis integrates previously unseen material from Ian Fleming himself, adding a layer of authenticity that fans will revel in.

This is James Bond as Fleming conceived him: heroic, sophisticated, and endlessly daring. Bursting with tension and excitement, Trigger Mortis is a must-read for devotees of the iconic spy and aficionados of gripping, high-stakes espionage adventures.
