The idea is to solve the cryptic clues, complete the 007 Carte Blanche missions to put yourself in with a chance of competing in the final secret mission, which will only be revealed towards the end of the month.

FIRST CRYPTIC CLUE: "Antarctic explorer finds himself eating in Monopoly's prime location"
Solve the clue and send the answer to [email protected]

First Prize:

The first prize is a signed copy of Carte Blanche to read ahead of publication. The winner will also have the opportunity to meet Jeffery Deaver, author of the Carte Blanche James Bond novel on 26th May 2011. The winner (with plus one) is invited to spend one night in a deluxe double room (for two people sharing) at the exclusive The Lanesborough, a 5 star St Regis Hotel in London, on the night of 25th May 2011. Breakfast will be included. Unfortunately, the first prize doesn’t include any expenses arising in relation to the prize.

Runner Up prizes:

There are 10 runner up prizes which are one ticket each to the Times+ Meet The Author! event, which will be held at 7:30pm on the 26th May at the Congress Centre, Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3LS

Excellent! Of course, I'm horrible with word puzzles, etc., but I think I might be able to figure this one out.

BTW, the official Carte Blanche Facebook page this is referring to hasn't launched yet. It will go up tomorrow (GMT time).

Any idea whether the Monopoly location mentioned is based on the American or British version of the game? It could make a difference.

British.

Second cryptic clue: "A borough of Gold where you'll find signed first editions"

Now besides solving the clues, you also have to complete missions! Here is the first 007 Carte Blanche mission:

"Take photo of yourself outside Scott's restaurant on 20 Mount Street in Mayfair, London"

This sounds exciting although unfair if you can't get to London...

Yes, unfortunately it's for UK residents only. But I would think there may be a similar competition for the US and Canada markets.
