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.

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 . . .
