Think 48. may be Simon Gray


"And in the final pages the death of his last surviving brother is rapidly followed by Gray's own - hideously inevitable - discovery that he has a tumour in his lung.
'Absolutely certainly, one way or another, I'm coming up to the last cigarette', he writes in this third volume of The Smoking Diaries, with the gallows humour and absolute lack of self-pity that characterise all his best work."

46.

The American author Tony Hillerman, best known for crime novels featuring Navajo Indian police officers as their main characters, has died aged 83.

I wonder if 10. can be James Bond in Sebastian Faulks "Devil May Care"


"What he likes above all, though, is eating eggs. I think Faulks had a bet with himself about the egg-count.
His Bond eats eggs constantly. Omelettes, scrambled eggs and poached eggs in particular. Fish eggs occasionally.
When he isn't eating eggs, on account of being tied up or on the run, he keeps his spirits up by fantasising about eating eggs: "We're nearly there, we're nearly there, my darling. Breakfast in Leningrad... We'll have eggs with smoked salmon and coffee..."
What do all those eggs do to the Bond digestive system?
Nothing, I can only suppose, that 60 Turkish cigarettes a day won't cancel out"
