Lawrence Block 
Thief Who Couldn’t Sleep [EPUB ebook] 

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
