Another winner from this author!
Love this author! This is the first book I ever read by Trevanian and got me hooked. I've been trying to read all his books ever since. Professor Jonathan Hemlock lives in a renovated Gothic church on Long Island. He teaches art, but is also an accomplished mountain climber, and a mercenary, performing assassinations for money to purchase his black-market art collection. Lots of twists to keep it interesting.
