If you can find an example on Amazon, the "other people who bought.." bit might give you some ideas?

What about a James Bond? Classic that you can't go far wrong with (unless he has them). Good luck!

If you can give it to him face to face and explain why you've got him a kids' book, he might like Charlie Higson's Young james Bond novels. They're Bond's crimesolving adventuers at Eton in the 30s (?). Maybe best as a companion to an early Ian Fleming. The first one is called Silverfin.

Robert Harris? Jeremy Clarkson for a change
