Devil May Care

About “Devil May Care”

Bond is recalled from his sabbatical in Rome to investigate Dr. Julius Gorner, a pharmaceutical magnate with a dangerous interest in opiate derivatives. An Algerian drug runner is killed in Paris, leading Bond to work with Scarlett Papava, a glamorous Parisian. The novel follows Bond as he faces his most dangerous adversary yet, with events threatening global catastrophe. A British airliner disappears over Iraq, and the Middle East prepares for war. The story takes place during the Cold War and reflects the social upheavals of the late sixties. Written to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth, Devil May Care continues the James Bond legacy with a fast-paced and tense narrative.
