"Her hair was black and fell to her shoulders. She had high cheekbones and a sensual mouth, and wore a dress of white silk. Her eyes were blue, alight and disdainful, but, as they gazed into his with a touch of humour, Bond realized that they contained a message.
Solitaire watched his eyes on her and nonchalantly drew her forearms together so that the valley between her breasts deepened. The message was unmistakable."

Beautiful, fortune-telling Solitaire is the prisoner (and tool) of Mr Big—master of fear, artist in crime and Voodoo Baron of Death. James Bond has no time for superstition—he knows that this criminal heavy hitter is also a top SMERSH operative and a real threat. More than that, after tracking him through the jazz joints of Harlem, to the everglades and on to the Caribbean, 007 has realized that Big is one of the most dangerous men that he has ever faced. And no-one, not even the mysterious Solitaire, can be sure how their battle of wills is going to end…

Resenhas (3)

4.5 (Muito bom)

Um dis melhores livros da franquia James Bond.

Entrega uma boa trama com personagens excelentes (inclusive o vilão, Mr. Big, que não deixa de amedrontar do começo ao fim).

Além do protagonista, sempre confiante e corajoso, temos também aqui a presença marcante de Solitaire, que se apresenta de forma quase mística, enriquecendo a narrativa de forma brilhante.

Leiter, já presente em Casino Royale, também dá as caras aqui, influenciando muito os rumos da trama.

Um livro eletrizante. Não dá pra largar.
