A book by by David Edmonds and John Eidinow.

I like this mysterious plot, almost like in spy novel.
Master Wade copied by hand all Spassky's games, ALL, and he did it twice, because first time he didn't write vertically, as Fischer liked.

Fischer kept this treasure in red velvet cloth and carried it with himself even when he went out to dine in usually Indian restaurant in an American spa resort. He used to occupy 2 tables because of that. He had analyzed all night til 10 o'clock in he morning, while he was listening rock music.

Smith - co-author of famous anti-Sicilian gambit -was providing him with chess books from all parts of the world. Fischer used to let secret announce in the paper when he needed next delivery.

I am reading it again and as always I find it exciting.
