"The author of the 14 most recent James Bond thrillers is a magician. John Gardner, retained by the estate of Ian Fleming, the creator of the Bond character, was a professional magician before he became an author. One of his novels, The Confessor, is a thriller about a master spy who is also a secret master magician."
Wow, who'd have thought it? I'll have to see if I can pick up a copy of that at some point. (By the way, I've just looked it up and the book is simply called 'Confessor', for anyone who wants to read it)
