Goldfinger is the seventh novel and basis for the 
third Bond film (1964) in Ian Fleming's James Bond series and franchise. It was first published by the British publishers Jonathan Cape on March 23, 1959.
After Bond returns to London, he inquires into the background of Goldfinger, to find that he is the richest man in England, the world's top gold smuggler, and treasurer for the Soviet assassination agency SMERSH.
Bond is sent to collect information from Goldfinger, and Bond manages to join him for what turns into a high-stakes game of golf. Goldfinger cheats by switching golf balls, but Bond beats him at his own game and wins. Bond is then sent on a mission to find Goldfinger's supply of gold that he has been smuggling, and bring it back to England. Bond manages to trace Goldfinger to a warehouse in Geneva where the white-gold armor of Goldfinger's Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is regularly being melted into aircraft seat-frames, to be smuggled into India. Bond is then captured and tortured for information (being promised a slow death by buzz saw rather than a quick one, if he doesn't talk). This continues until Bond blacks out without revealing himself as an operative, and apparently establishes his bona fides with Goldfinger, for he not only isn't killed but is given a job. This occurs when he next wakes up — far off in New York where he is being taken to Goldfinger's warehouse — there he is told he and Tilly Masterton will be working for Goldfinger, essentially as secretaries and personnel managers — for Bond had earlier offered his services, pretending to be a huckster, but had seemingly been refused and had expected to die.
