The Man With the Golden Gun (1965)
Villain: Scaramanga Girl: Mary Goodnight Villain's Plot: Organizing the underworld for various criminal ends. Main locations: Jamaica Fleming pays off on the cliff-hanger from the previous book by having a brainwashed Bond turn up at M's office intending to kill him. It's a great "pre-credits sequence" and is probably the highlight of the book. Fleming died before he could finish the book and as a result it is a bit thin. Strangely it remains one of my favourites. Again, the movie and book share very little in common. |
