OHMSS

I see! ………… No, I DON’T see!
I should imagine @JimInOz is getting his beauty sleep, so a few clues for you @Canuck

‘IF’ The initials of an author. Specialised in the spy genre.

‘OHMSS’ The initials of the title of one of the author’s novels. Early sixties, later made into a film. The main character from this book, and many others, could be found ‘keeping the British end up’

Here’s a simple one. The subject of the rebus is not represented in the clues.

I've got the month. And if the nameless chrono clue is the date, National Pumpkin Day?

I’ll go with Oktoberfest, home of the beer-corpses.

Bvulgari Octo Finissimo
Raymond Burr
Had to google the chrono. It’s a Festina, apparently.

Not easy, this one, so I’ll give you a couple of clues: You’re looking for an author and book title. It was later made into a film with Anthony Hopkins…
