Sherwood describes her new 00-book

U.K. cover for A Spy Like Me

Ian Fleming Publications, in an email, published a statement from author Kim Sherwood about her new 00-agent book, A Spy Like Me.

A few highlights:

–Plot synopsis: The book concerns “a Breguet montre à tract, otherwise known as a ‘blind man’s watch’ and the agents in my story follow it into the heart of a terrorist plot that could not only cripple the Western world but potentially spell the ruin of the Double O section.”

–Agent lineup:

Joseph Dryden, 004, is following the money, tracking the sale of rare artifacts that funnels money to the terrorist organization. (snip)

Johanna Harwood, 003, has been sidelined following the events of her last mission. But now she has a new mission of her own: find James Bond. (snip)

Conrad Harthrop-Vane, 000, the blue-eyed boy, is dispatched to Oman to track the blind man’s watch and navigate a world of luxury and deception.

–Difference compared with Sherwood’s first 00-agent book: “Unlike the first part of the trilogy, Double or Nothing, this book is written in present tense. I wanted to communicate a feeling that everything is constantly in motion.”

A Spy Like Me went on sale in the U.K. today, April 25. It went on sale in the U.S. on April 23.
