A game of canasta turns out crooked, and a golden girl ends up dead. Auric Goldfinger, it seems, is a bad loser at cards. He is also the world's most ruthless and successful smuggler of gold. As James Bond follows his trail, he discovers that Goldfinger's real game is the heist of 15 billion dollars of US government bullion. The final hand is played at Fort Knox, in a spectacular display of deception and intrigue.

"Goldfinger - Superb! - Lots of suspense and drama."
I greatly enjoyed listening to Goldfinger - the best one so far. The character of Goldfinger is described exactly how you see him in the film - reflecting his mannerisms and banter he has with James Bond. The book is packed full of action, suspense and drama. I highly recommended listening to this book a real Bond classic.
"Brilliant Bond"
Fantastic. The best Bond book I've listened to so far. Bond is the same as in the others, yet completely different. There's something different about this book, Goldfinger is incredible and the narrative is superb. Definite 5 stars.
