In this second adaptation of the Fleming novels. Bond is sent to New York City to investigate ""Mr. Big"", an agent of SMERSH and a criminal voodoo leader. With no time for superstition--and with the help of his colleague in the CIA, Felix Leiter, Bond tracks ""Mr. Big"" through the jazz joints of Harlem, to the everglades and on to the Caribbean, knowing that this criminal heavy hitter is a real threat. No-one, not even the mysterious Solitaire, can be sure how their battle of wills is going to end.
