Le Chiffre has taken Soviet money, intended to fund a Communist-controlled trade union, and invested it in brothels. This particular novel shows how Bond came to occupy that role after he accepts a mission from MI-6, the British Secret Service, to defeat Le Chiffre, a Russian agent, in a poker game. Fleming created the James Bond character, and wrote many novels about the British spy and his fight against enemy agents during the Cold War.
Casino Royale by Ian Fleming is a spy thriller featuring James Bond.
