Horowitz is the latest contemporary novelist to be officially commissioned by the Fleming estate to write a Bond novel.
Bond will not only reunite with Pussy in the story, he will encounter another Bond girl, Jeopardy Lane, as well as a "sadistic, scheming Korean adversary hell-bent on vengeance" named Jai Seung Sin. In Horowitz's new novel, Pussy returns to kick up trouble for Bond on the eve of a historic US rocket launch. Pussy was played by Honor Blackman in the film adaptation of the novel and is thought to have been based on Blanche Blackwell, a Jamaican of Anglo-Jewish descent, who was reportedly the love of Fleming's later life. Trigger Mortis uses the backdrop of the Soviet-American space race and begins with an idea Fleming wrote for an unmade TV series, Murder on Wheels, in which Bond gets involved in a Formula One race in Nurburgring in Germany.įor Horowitz, the story was an opportunity to reintroduce Pussy Galore, the violet-eyed lesbian gangster who ran a troupe of female acrobats turned cat burglars in Goldfinger. The new novel, due out in September, is set in 1957, two weeks after the end of Fleming's original novel Goldfinger. Horowitz, the creator of Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders, unveiled the title and a plot outline for the forthcoming Bond thriller today to mark what would have been Fleming's 107th birthday, The Guardian reports. The sultry female character will make her return in Trigger Mortis – a book based on an original Fleming idea. The most famous of Bond girls, Pussy Galore, is set to return in a new 007 novel by Anthony Horowitz.
