From Russia, With Love

by Ian Fleming (1957):

British secret agent

James 007 Bond is being targeted for elimination by Russia’s lethal SMERSH organisation. As bait, it offers the beautiful Tatiana Romanova, who lures 007 to Istanbul promising the top-secret Spektor, a Soviet decoding device that is much coveted by Bond’s agency, M16.

Bond’s superior, M, orders him to go to Turkey to retrieve the device. But will Bond be able to escape the clutches of the assassin, a psychopath whose homicidal urges coincide with the full moon?
