Produktbeschreibung

A "rousing, often comic" series debut featuring a globe-trotting spy with nothing to lose-even sleep-from the New York Times-bestselling author ( Library Journal). Evan Michael Tanner hasn't slept in more than a decade-not since a small piece of battlefield shrapnel invaded his skull and obliterated his brain's sleep center. Still, he's managed to find numerous inventive ways to occupy his waking hours. Tanner is a card-carrying member of hundreds of international organizations, from the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Order to the Flat Earth Society-not because he believes in their myriad lost causes, he's simply a joiner by nature. Besides, it gives him something to do. The Russians think Tanner is a CIA operative on a covert mission. The CIA is certain he's a Soviet agent. Actually, he's in Turkey pursuing a fortune in hidden Armenian gold. But Tanner's up for anything, including a little spycraft, if it helps him reach his big payday. And if need be, he'll even start a small revolution . . . Praise for Lawrence Block "Block is one of the best!" - The Washington Post "Block is a deft surgeon, sure and precise." - The New York Times "Block generates nonstop suspense." - Publishers Weekly "One of our best authors." - San Diego Union-Tribune
