Goldfinger - Ian Fleming - Folio Society - 2018

First published in 1959, this novel sets James Bond against Auric Goldfinger, a financier whose wealth is tied to gold smuggling and a plan against Fort Knox. Bond first encounters him over a spoiled card game and a dispute about gold, then is assigned to follow the man's operations from England to Switzerland and the United States. The plot turns on a scheme that uses a team of criminals, a formidable Korean servant, and an all-women flying circus. Bond's task is to learn the plan and stop it without becoming disposable. The book is a caper thriller about greed and logistics rather than a courtroom intrigue.
