I think I saw the Eiger Sanction movie first, since I
remember picturing Clint Eastwood as Hemlock while reading
both of the Sanction books in college, a long time ago. The
Eiger book was even better than the movie
(as usual, but I usually try to read books before seeing
movies made from them), and Loo improved on Eiger.
I picked up The Main as soon as it came out in paper. At
first I was disappointed it wasn't a third Sanction book, but
ended up liking it quite a bit. The main character, don't
remember his name, but he's a rumpled cop in the Maigret,
Laidlaw, Rebus vein. In fact, like Rebus
(in a few of the books), he rents out rooms in his building
to students
(though doesn't let anyone know he's the owner). I don't
remember many specifics from the book, but remember liking it
quite a bit. I'm not sure why I didn't read any other
Trevanian books after that.
