AUTHOR
TREVANIAN

 

Trevanian was a shadowy figure. In his lifetime, he is said to have written under at least five different pseudonyms in at least five different genres, although he is probably best known for the spy thrillers The Eiger Sanction, The Loo Sanction and Shibumi and his highly acclaimed memoir The Crazyladies of Pearl Street.

What is certain is that he was born an American named Rodney Whitaker, he spent much of his adult life in the French Basque country – where The Summer of Katya is set – and he died in 2005 in the west of England.
