Shibumi was written as a send up of the Bond genre. The author,'Trevanian' was much, much better than all of his peers thus this work is unforgettable.
"A westerner raised in Japan, he survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world's most artful lover and its most accomplished assassin. His greatest desire is to attain a state of effortless perfection . . . shibumi. But he is about to face his most sinister and corrupt enemy -- a supermonolith of espionage and monopoly bent on destroying him."
Much of Trevanian's novel Shibumi is set in the Basque country of Spain. One of my favorite spy thrillers.

The great thing about Trevanian is you never know exactly if he's putting you on.
