Faulks first thrilling city revealed: Paris

Doubleday has released U.S. publishing details for the hardcover and paperback editions of Devil May Care, and have leaked one of the book’s “thrilling city” locales; Paris.

President & Publisher of Doubleday, Stephen Rubin, says of the book, “Three pages into Devil May Care and you are immediately thrown back into the world of James Bond and all those wonderful characters we have come to love. Devil May Care is pure Fleming channeled by Faulks—a madcap adventure, a romantic romp and a book you can devour in one sitting. It all starts in Paris, and no one alive writes better about Paris than Sebastian Faulks.”

The last time 007 traveled to Paris was in Raymond Benson’s 2001 Bond novel, Never Dream of Dying.

Doubleday also confirmed that Devil May Care will be released simultaneously with the UK edition (by Penguin) on May 28, 2008, the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth. The book will be released as an Anchor paperback in 2009.
