| Summary |
"Auric Goldfinger is England's richest man, a ruthless criminal with an insatiable appetite for the world's most precious metal. James Bond's already caught him cheating at cards and golf--but could he also be planning the most audacious gold heist in history? To infiltrate Goldfinger's organization, 007 will have to risk everything--including torture at the hands of the secretive millionaire's Korean henchman, Oddjob. Bond's already seen how this cold-blooded assassin can kill with a well-aimed toss of his razor-rimmed hat, and 007 is determined not to lose his head. Bond hopes the payoff will be uncovering the connection between Goldfinger's latest criminal caper and the notorious Soviet counterespionage unit known as SMERSH"--Page 4 of cover. |
