LONDON — “Ah, Mr. Bond,” said the world’s book publishers. “So good to have you back.” Britain’s most famous secret agent returns to the page in “Devil May Care,” released around the world Wednesday amid a blaze of publicity.
Publishers are hoping the thriller, already topping Internet retailer Amazon’s best-seller list in Britain, proves a fitting centenary tribute to James Bond’s late creator, Ian Fleming — and a lucrative new chapter for a franchise that has sold 100 million copies since the suave spy first appeared in “Casino Royale” in 1952.
