Introducing James Bond, the secret agent with two kills on his
hands. 'Casino Royale', Ian Fleming's first novel
- published on this day exactly sixty years ago on 13th April
1953 - is a short and bitter introduction to the world of espionage
from
the British
author
that would
become an international household name. Written from his Jamaican
home, Goldeneye, Fleming's fantastic agent journeys to Royale-les-eaux
and does battle with the repulsive SMERSH agent Le Chiffre at
the card table.
