Azcel wrote a good book on Fermat's Last Theorem and Wiles' solution. Amazon
Simon Singh's book on the same subject is also good, but Amazon has it at $10.17 whereas Azcel's is $0.71 better at $10.88.
Either way you get an enjoyable read of one man's dedication to solve a notoriously tricky problem and just enough of the mathematical landscape to get a sense of what was involved.
Another fun & light holiday read is Polya's 'How To Solve it' - read the glowing reviews over at Amazon
Well, regarding Fermat's Last Theorem, it indeed was written by Aczel, as could easily be determined by following the link in the article. However, it looks like there are 100s of books with a similar name. The one your read by Simon Singh was called: Fermat's Enigma.
You weren't misled, you just "misremembered".
