Déclic mortel is the French edition of Trigger Mortis, Anthony Horowitz’s continuation novel, published in Paris by Calmann-Lévy in 2015. If you read Bond in French, or collect the novel in translation, this is the copy to look for.
In the books
The French listings describe a story that starts straight after the Goldfinger affair and sends Bond into the early-1950s world of motor racing and rockets, with Russian counter-espionage behind a plot against a Grand Prix. The book credits Ian Fleming’s notes alongside Horowitz’s text.
Owning it now
The research found listings from French booksellers and used-book dealers, so availability varies by country. A used copy is a sensible way in. Our books and media page lists the English-language editions of the same story, and the films show where Bond went next.
