The Man With The Golden Touch: How The Bond Films Conquered The World

The Man with The Golden Touch: How the Bond Movies Conquered the World by Sinclair McKay was published by Aurum. Is it a case of just one more writer jumping on the marketing train of Quantum of Solace and the James Bond bandwagon (or would that be a bondwagon)? Not quite. 
 

Sisters Of Fortune

When three heiresses arrived in London in 1816, they took London society by storm. Their large fortunes would enable them to overcome two little drawbacks that might bar them from achieving advantageous marriages: they were American and Catholic. 

The Temptress: The Scandalous Life Of Alice, Countess De Janze

1941, Jocelyn Hay, Earl of Errol, was shot in Kenya. The death of the debauched jet setter at the heart of Kenya’s Happy Valley set gave the tabloids a heyday and rumors were ripe. The murderer was never apprehended. A new book tries to pin down a new suspect. 

Wellington: A Journey Through My Family

My Word Is My Bond

Roger Moore’s My Word Is My Bond was published by Michael O’Mara Books. I don’t know where Moore found his ghost-writer, but maybe it was his accountant. The book would qualify as an accountant’s joke anytime.
