James Bond is back! James Bond muss in einem legendären Bakkarat-Duell gegen den russischen Top-Spion Le Chiffre beweisen, dass er die Nummer eins im internationalen Spionagekartell ist. In der Kinoverfilmung des ersten „Bond“-Romans gibt Daniel Craig seinen Einstand in der Rolle des britischen Topagenten 007. An seiner Seite agieren Judi Dench, John Cleese und Eva Green.
Travis McGee is too busy with his houseboat to pay attention to the little old man with the missing postage stamps. Except these are no ordinary stamps. They are rare stamps. Four hundred thousand dollars worth of rare. And if McGee doesn't recognize their value, perhaps Mary Alice McDermit does, a six-foot knockout who knows all the ways to a boat bum's heart. Only it's not McGee's heart that's in danger. Because a syndicate killer has put a contract on McGee. A killer who knows something about stamps . . . and even more about McGee.
