Miss Moneypenny projects a cool, calm and collected image, the personification
of chic sophistication and unflappable poise. She handles her cohort
of 00 agents with good-humoured grace. She is professional and precise
yet there is always the feeling that there is more to Jane than meets
the eye. Indeed, it is time to move over James Bond! For now one of
our sassiest and sexiest female icons, has been given a far larger
role of her own. Jane is equally daring and dastardly, as this third
and final book in The Moneypenny Diaries series reveals.
"Final Fling" combines the
excitement of a cold war spy thriller with the mystery
of a contemporary detective story. In the 1964/65 volume
of her private diaries, Jane Moneypenny reports her demotion
from the position of M’s secretary as the British
Secret Intelligence Service is hit by a series of defection
scandals. Facing considerable personal danger, she combines
forces with 007 in a resolve to smoke out the mole she
is convinced is buried deep in the heart of the Office.
But, when Bond is sacked and M is forced into retirement,
Moneypenny finds herself on her own…
Forty-two years later, Miss Moneypenny’s
niece and heir, Kate Westbrook, starts to suspect that
her aunt’s death was no accident. She is sure the
clues to what happened lie in the search for the mole.
As she pieces them together, however, she realizes that
there are significant forces who are determined to prevent
her finding the truth. From the glamour of 1960s Jamaica
to the treacherous beaches of the Outer Hebrides, "Final
Fling" reveals just how far people are prepared
to go to defend - or betray - their beliefs,
and relates the life and death, and surprising final
love, of the world’s most famous fictional secretary. |
