Diamonds are Forever

  • Diamonds are Forever

  • There's no better time to rediscover James Bond.

    The Spangled Mob are no ordinary American gangsters.

    They prey on the addictions of the wealthy and treat the poor as collateral. Their ruthless desire for power and fierce brotherly loyalty make them deadly and invincible.

    James Bond must go deep undercover in his urgent new assignment: to destroy their millionaire masterminds, Jack and Seraffimo Spang.

    But the Spangs' cruel influence is everywhere, from dusty African diamond mines to the frenzied gambling dens of Las Vegas. Can Bond find his men before his cover is blown?

    'Bond is a hero for all time' Jeffrey Deaver
