When Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale was first published on April 13, 1953, it was a sensation. “Le Chiffre” is a ruthless operative and the accountant for a soviet SMERSH cell in France, but he’s on the verge of disaster after gambling away his client’s money. Taking the last of his stash, he lures a dozen wealthy players to a high-stakes baccarat game, hoping to hustle his way whole.
The British Secret Service would like to see this red thorn plucked from the hide of Europe, and sends their best card sharp, James Bond, to bankrupt Le Chiffre for good.
Ships promptly in a secure mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
