The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep

Description for THE THIEF WHO COULDN'T SLEEP by Lawrence Block: A WAKE-UP CALL... is the last thing that Evan Tanner needs. Champion of lost causes and beautiful women, Tanner hasn't slept a wink since the sleep center of his brain was destroyed. And with the FBI keeping tabs on him, the CIA tapping his phone, and a super-secret intelligence agency wanting to recruit him, keeping wide awake is definitely a smart choice. AN ALARMING CAUSE... is the last thing Evan Tanner needs. But when a ravishing blonde comes calling with cries of help and claims of riches, Tanner finds he can't resist. Smuggling her across the border of her native country, though, proves to be a difficult chore, especially when there's all that loot to carry as well. Not to mention the law, which is one step behind him and quickly catching up. This is #1 in Evan Tanner Series.
