When a ruthless criminal mastermind known as Mr. Big begins using pirate treasure to finance Soviet espionage operations, MI6 dispatches James Bond to New York City to investigate. Bond soon finds himself traveling from the streets of Harlem to the swamps of Florida and the tropical islands of the Caribbean in pursuit of one of the most dangerous enemies he has ever faced. Along the way he encounters the mysterious fortune teller Solitaire, whose extraordinary gifts place her directly in Mr. Big’s path—and in Bond’s.
