About This Book
Jonathan Hemlock lives in a renovated Gothic church on Long Island. He
is an art professor, a mountain climber, and a mercenary, performing
assassinations (i.e., sanctions) for money to augment his black-market
art collection. Now Hemlock is being tricked into a hazardous assignment
that involves an attempt to scale one of the most treacherous mountain
peaks in the Swiss Alps, the Eiger.
In a breathtakingly suspenseful story that is part thriller and part
satire, the author traces Hemlock’s spine-tingling adventures,
introducing a cast of intriguing characters—villains, traitors,
beautiful women—into the highly charged atmosphere of danger. The
accumulating threads of suspicion, accusation, and evidence gradually
knit themselves into a bizarre and death-defying climax in this
exciting, entertaining novel that will keep readers on the edge of their
seats until the last absorbing page.
"Superior suspense on almost every page…the hero is a masterpiece of
conflicting qualities—something for everyone." —Anatole Broyard, New
York Times
"Trevanian can write hoops around Ian Fleming." —Boston Globe
