On the way he meets teenager Red Kelly, and vows to help him find his missing cousin, who failed to return from a fishing trip at nearby Loch Silverfin. His first year over, James travels to Scotland to stay with his beloved Uncle Max. When James catches George taking a shortcut through the cross-country trail, the race is well and truly on…. Lord Hellebore hosts the annual Hellebore cup, an athletics tournament his son is certain to win. George’s father Lord Hellebore traded arms during the Second World War and was a rival of James’ father Andrew. Just a few of the rules of Eton College, designed to turn teenage boys into gentlemen.ĭespite making lots of friends, James becomes a target for the school bully, American George Hellebore. In 2005 TV writer Charlie Higson was commissioned to write Bond’s official backstory, starting with his first term at Eton College. Since then a number of authors have been given permission to use his characters, like William Boyd, who fictionalised Ian Fleming in his novel Any Human Heart, and Anthony Horowitz, who created teen spy Alex Rider. Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series, died in 1964. If you prefer stylish spies to dark detectives or canny old ladies, we recommend SilverFin, the first in a new series of books about a certain Mr Bond. Noirwich, Norwich’s festival of crime writing, is back this week.
