Brilliant! I have that on audio only, but that comes with a picture so that's where I've seen it.

Didn't like it much, I have to confess, but that's no excuse.

I can't claim my answer was based on knowledge, just good Googling.

I used to read a lot of books (nothing too heavy) when I was younger but I haven't picked up a proper book in years.

Well done Mel. Was a best seller, so thought it would look familiar.

Next image - anyone?

[astral276]

OK. As I won I get to pick the next (seems fair)...

What happened to our guessing game?

Let's see, it's a Pan paperback, looks like it could be a James Bond book. No idea though really.
Any hints Mel?

Thanks for reminding me about this. I thought about Bond, but couldn't come up with a matching title. Definitely looks like a thriller of that type though. Maybe a Len Deighton if not Fleming?
