Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz's third James Bond novel, after Forever and a Day. It is M's funeral. One man is missing from the graveside: the traitor who pulled the trigger and who is now in custody, accused of M's murder--James Bond. Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion's den--but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives? In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means death, Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.

LICENCE TO SNOOZE
With a Mind to Kill is a direct sequel to The Man with the Golden Gun. Horowitz sends Bond back to the Soviet Union in a perilous mission as a triple agent. The Russians believe he is on their side and have a job for him.
While the author captures the style of the Fleming originals, I considered the tale to be downbeat. It takes a considerable while to get going and then descends into a never ending first date. Even worse his love interest starts off as an intelligent and self-confident woman. She then becomes completely dependent on Bond after making love. Really?! The balance of the book is plodding, a bit tedious and workmanlike. Try his other books before this one.
