*Starred Review* Horowitz, the eighth author to write James Bond books after the death of 007 creator Ian Fleming, makes a bold move by creating a prequel to Casino Royale, the first Bond book, plus including original material by Fleming. It's 1950, and BondâJames Bondâhas just been promoted to the Secret Service elite, the "licensed to kill" corps, after having proved his skill as an assassin. He is sent to Marseille to solve and avenge the murder of his predecessor as 007, a man who was his friend. He is soon involved with the mysterious Madame Sixtine, whose allegiances are not clear; her friend, multimillionaire American Irwin Wolfe; and massive Corsican gangster Jean-Paul Scipio, who takes the practice of torture to new levels. Also on the scene is CIA agent Reade Griffith, who is Bond's ally until he isn't. Bond joins forces with Sixtine, a woman his senior in age, and equal in skill and intellect (no beautiful but empty-headed Bond girls here), who explains why she orders her cocktails shaken, not stirred. This explosive adventure is Horowitz's second Bond book, after Trigger Mortis (2015), and marks him as fully worthy to carry on the Bond tradition. Fleming would be pleased. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Whether he is writing for adults or children, whether he is imagining his own characters or extending the lives of those created by others (Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle as well as Fleming), Horowitz always draws a crowd of eager readers.
