Ian Fleming, the British writer best known for creating the world's most famous spy, is back in the spotlight decades after his death.
This week, The Strand Magazine published a rarely seen short story by Fleming titled "The Shameful Dream," which predates his first James Bond novel.
It's about a newspaper editor named Caffery Bone, who is in a limousine on the way to his boss's home, a man reminiscent of a Bond villain.
