The Spy Who Jumped Off The Screen by Thomas Caplan

I bought this novel at a thrift store and started reading it last night. Interesting premise of a former spy who is a movie actor portraying a James Bond/Jason Bourne type of character. I only got through the first 2 or 3 chapters and Caplan seems to have a very Fleming-esque quality to his writing.

I am wondering if any one else here has read the book?

    I've not heard of it before, but it does sound very interesting. What year was it published?

    It was published in 2012... the ONLY problem I have with it so far is that I am up to chapter 5 and the main character hasn't shown up yet...

    Caplan writes in a descriptive Fleming style. I am enjoying it so far...
