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 meets a black-haired beauty whose Grandmother has fantastic tales of a fortune of gold European 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 hasn't even heard of them.
