Novel, Spy fiction by Ians Flemings

Blurb

Diamonds Are Forever is the fourth novel by the English author Ian Fleming to feature his fictional British Secret Service agent Commander James Bond. Fleming wrote the story at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica, and the book was first published by Jonathan Cape in the United Kingdom on 26 March 1956.
The story centres on how Bond closes down a diamond smuggling ring which originates in the diamond mines of Sierra Leone and ends in Las Vegas. Along the way Bond meets and falls in love with one of the members of the smuggling gang, Tiffany Case. Much of the background research undertaken by Fleming also formed the basis for the non-fiction book The Diamond Smugglers, which was published in 1957. Within its storyline Diamonds Are Forever deals with international travel, marriage and the transitory nature of life.
As with Fleming's previous novels, Diamonds Are Forever received broadly positive reviews at the time of publication and was serialised in the Daily Express newspaper, firstly in an abridged, multi-part form and then as a comic strip. In 1971 it was adapted into the seventh Bond film in the series and was the last Eon Productions film to star Sean Connery as Bond.
