Historia
When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

Breaking into the homes of the rich and picking the locks on their safes may not be condoned by British law enforcement, but World War II is in full swing, Ellie's cousins, Colm and Toby, are off fighting against Hitler, and Uncle Mick's more honorable business as a locksmith can't pay the bills anymore.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

They are on the run, wanted for the murder of King Charles I—a brazen execution that marked the culmination of the English Civil War, in which parliamentarians successfully battled royalists for control.

Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, the fifty-nine men who signed the king’s death warrant and participated in his execution have been found guilty in absentia of high treason.

Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Resumen del Editor
"It’s almost uncanny how well Mr. Horowitz summons Bond’s mindset . . . Yet this Bond also feels the winds of change: 'He had his licence to kill. But was it possible that in this new, more questioning age, that licence might have expired?' A drop of retro pleasures, a pinch of things to come; shaken, not stirred." — Wall Street Journal
Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s third James Bond novel, after Forever and a Day.
It is 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, Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"If your audiobook production is from the James Bond library, make sure to get a narrator who understands the language. So it's no great surprise that Kinnear deftly handles the spy-speak present in author Horowitz's third Bond novel.... Naturally, the Olivier Award-winning Kinnear smoothly provides the many needed British accents. And he is equally adept at supplying the Russian and German accents heard during Bond's overseas imprisonment. What results is an enjoyable thriller with a cinematic flair." (AudioFile)

Then one day, Roy asked his timid friend: “You ever killed anything?” From that moment on, the two were bound together in a game too terrifying to imagine - and too irresistible to stop.

When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

It was a strong face, certainly—the eyes pale grey and very cold, the mouth was hard, the dark hair-grey-streaked now—still fell in the authentic comma over the forehead. This is how John Pearson reacted to his first encounter with the real James Bond, an encounter probably unique in the annals of thriller writing. He went on to write the bestselling authorized biography of Ian Fleming. At the time, like most of the world he assumed that James Bond was nothing more than a character in Fleming's highly charged imagination.

"Who is Mr Ian Fleming, the creator of this—to put it mildly—rubbish?" The whole Bond phenomenon is attacked as pornography, capitalist filth and anti-socialist poison. Here, translated into English for the first time, you will also hear the long Russian critique of the Bond films by Maja Turovskaya published in 1966, and the extremely interesting account that appeared in Prague the following year of Sean Connery’s rise to fame. A bonus is the Bulgarian attempt to publish a novel in which Bond was killed.

Verry good Bond book, even better audiobook
I used to be a big James Bond fan and have recently become a huge Anthony Horowitz fan. I really enjoyed this book. James Bond is not a likable character, so I always find myself questioning why I'm reading. But he is a fascinating character when he's written well. The drive and determination combined with impressive knowledge and practical intelligence make him a fun character.
The misogyny is ever-present, but Horowitz narrates in a way that seems to be critical of the character flaw rather than basking in it as lots of the films have done. The alcoholism is brushed over in this book.
The plot itself is a fun one with mind control at the center. Brainwashing and counter-brainwashing is a fun espionage game, especially with Bond as the subject. A few fun twists and surprises, but on the whole, this is a paint-by-numbers Bond story. I don't say that to discredit it, but it won't convert a non-bond fan because it is true to the classic formula.
As for the audio performance, I've become a fan of Rory Kinnear's work with Horowitz's other work. I could listen to him all day. In fact, I have.

A True Bond Adventure
Full Disclosure: I am a staunch Anthony Horowitz fan. Every adult mystery he's written has landed on my Favorites list. And it's no different with his James Bond novels.
If it's James Bond you want, Horowitz will give it to you and make the experience an exciting, suspenseful, and entertaining one. In this novel, Bond is asked to infiltrate the Russian group that recently almost killed him in order to find out what the East Germans are up to, foil their plot and return unscathed. Horowitz creates an interesting Bond adventure that includes mind control, several killings, a bombing, a love interest, and plenty of double-crosses.
The narration by Rory Kinnear is, as usual, perfect.
A true Bond adventure.

Take a Risk
If you are a 007 fan, you will enjoy this story. It has all the classic Bond story elements. Unfortunately, that’s where some of the problems come in to play. I enjoy this author, however, he needs to veer from the basic elements of a Bond novel. It’s time to incorporate some new story components.

Fun, atmospheric, and suspenseful sequel to The Man With the Golden Gun
After the Man With the Golden Gun, Bond goes deep undercover behind the Iron Curtain. No joke, this reads like it was written by Ian Fleming himself. There are plot twists, reveals, and near misses as Bond navigates Leningrad, Moscow and East Berlin, a dystopian world where nothing is truly what it seems. The story is a suspenseful espionage thriller grounded in Cold War history — including a cameo by a very famous historical figure — with elements of The Manchurian Candidate and Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much. Anthony Horowitz does a great job of keeping up the mounting suspense as the story progresses at a rapid pace. His characters are plausible and there’s a lot of inner dialogue by Bond as he ruminates on his career and the meaning of it all even as he’s on yet another seemingly impossible assignment. Like Fleming, Horowitz uses his settings — like the bleak, oppressive Soviet-era Moscow — very effectively to build mood and atmosphere. A quick, fun read/listen for fans of the original Bond books, like me, and a satisfying coda to the Fleming series. Rory Kinnear, the actor who Bond movie fans (also me!) will recognize played Chief of Staff Bill Tanner during the Daniel Craig era, does a solid and engaging narration of the book. I can’t wait to read and listen to Horowitz’s other two Bond novels!
