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.
