The Story:Two years before Ian Fleming saw his first James Bond novel published, a fictional secret agent called Johnny Fedora was already being sent by British Intelligence on secret missions.The critics described Fedora as the “thinking man’s James Bond” who spends his life “dealing with the cold-blooded bastards on this earth.” Welcome to the world of British Intelligence’s first licence to kill assassin. (amazon) Johnny is assigned to track down Marcelline Gaston aka/le rossignol. She was a German agent in 1942 and gave away The Diamond Group to the Gestapo. Everyone in the group was killed. Johnny has to make sure she now joins them. Since he’s well known due to his resistance work he gets plastic surgery.
