About the book
In this collection of travel writing, he takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the world's most electrifying cities, from Hong Kong to Las Vegas, from Tokyo to Chicago. With his characteristic wit and razor-sharp observation, Fleming explores the glamour, danger, and hidden corners of urban life in the 1950s and 60s. Each city comes alive through encounters with gamblers, spies, femmes fatales, and local characters who could have stepped straight from the pages of a thriller. It's travel writing with a twist—sophisticated, slightly dangerous, and utterly captivating, offering a fascinating glimpse into a vanished world through the eyes of one of Britain's most legendary writers.
