Villains: The Spang brothers

Girl: Tiffany Case

Villain's Plot: Diamond smuggling

Main locations: Las Vegas

For me this is one of the least memorable Fleming novels. My favorite highlight from the book is the extended climax of which has Bond fighting Wint and Kidd on the liner Queen Elizabeth, which is essentially a mini Die Hard! In the movie this sequence became a two minute excuse for some Connery jokes. The movie also shares the Las Vegas locations, but little else.
