Evan Michael Tanner
Evan Michael Tanner, or simply Tanner, is the literary creation of author Lawrence Block and appears in eight of his novels. Seven of those were published in the 5-year period 1966-1970; the eighth one appeared in 1998, after a 28-year gap. Tanner is known to have fought in the Korean War, when his sleep center was destroyed by a stray piece of shrapnel, making him a permanent insomniac. He was most likely discharged after this incident, despite becoming an idea of the "perfect soldier"- one who is constantly awake. As a result of his injury, he does not sleep, nor does he need to.
==The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep==
Tanner takes an avid interest in political causes, primarily the ones existing in the late 1960s, when the series first takes place. He is also very good at "coming across money", so when he meets a black-haired beauty whose Grandmother has fantastic tales of a fortune in European gold hidden under her front porch in a war-torn country, he embarks on a profitable journey. Though only intending to extract 573 pounds of pure gold, he accidentally starts a revolution in Macedonia, ends up in a Turkish jail, and gets hired by a government agency so secret that even the CIA has never heard of them.
