In 1959, Ian Fleming, the creator of Adam Relationship, was commissioned by the Sunday Times to explore fourteen of the world’s most amazing cities. Fleming saw it all using a thriller writer’s eyes. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, NY to Naples, he still left the bright main streets for the trunk alleys. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished globe.
