Publisher Description

Jonathan Hemlock, the art professor and mercenary who first excited readers with his daring exploits in The Eiger Sanction, returns for another masterful adventure. Jonathan has gone to England to rest, but his vacation is interrupted when the head of British Intelligence needs his highly skilled services. Blackmailed into performing another “sanction”—a top-secret political assassination—Jonathan must take over the mission of an agent whose murder was so bizarre and terrifying that no other agent was willing to replace him. Once again Hemlock’s life hangs in the balance—but this time the penalty for failure is more grotesquely lethal than ever before.

His task is to locate a set of secretly made films that incriminate a number of high-ranking British officials; his target is a top underworld figure who delights in debauchery and torture. Facing this threat, Jonathan is drawn into a labyrinthine network of intrigue and depravity. As all the pieces in the dangerous puzzle begin to come together, Jonathan is trapped, drugged, and forced to attempt one of the most daring escapes ever conceived.

The Loo Sanction is another thrilling spy novel sure to keep listeners riveted.

    " If you read this novel, which I can recommend if you enjoy the cold-war espionage genre, you will never experience a typical 'waiting room' in the same manner. "

    " The plot structure was pretty similar to the Eiger sanction. Just substitute art for mountain climbing. So, not as interesting to me. But it was ok. "

    " I liked The Loo Sanction but not as much as The Eiger Sanction. It seems to me to lack the progression and pacing of Trevanian's other works. Still, I'd recommend the book. It has some really great moments and, of course, Trevanian's wonderful style. "

    " Jonathan Hemlock's sarcasm was fun in the Eiger Sanction, but in the Loo Sanction, he's become whiny and it's not attractive. "

    " second in the sanction series- not quite as good as the Eiger Sanction, but well written and same artistic detail. If you like Dan Brown, you will love Trevanian, plus he is more eccentric! "

    " If you enjoy spy/action books, Trevanian is a brilliant writer. However, I'd recommend Shibumi before the Loo Sanction. "

    " Ridiculous and entertaining. A quick read that will boost your vocab. And yes, the "Loo" in Loo Sanction refers to toilets. "
