Lawrence Block: Me Tanner, You Jane (2015) From the Publisher: Me Tanner, You Jane is Tanner's seventh adventure, and the first to take him to the African continent. We first encounter Tanner as a man named Nikita says, "We will bury you," but the Nikita in question is not Premier Khrushchev, nor is he speaking metaphorically. Tanner is in Modonoland, and his comrades in the Pan African Unity League do in fact bury him-alive. That he is able to disinter himself, that he winds up enlisted in a terrorist band under the aegis of the beautiful Sheena, that the menu at the group's triumphal feast contains a dish he's never had any wish to try-oh, it's a Tanner book, isn't it? And haven't you learned to expect the unexpected? Lawrence Block: Me Tanner, You Jane. Evan Tanner #7. LB Productions, ISBN: 9781516395644 (July, 2015), eBook, 0.36 MB, $6.99.

Lawrence Block: Me Tanner, You Jane (USA 2007) From the Publisher: No stranger to impossible missions and international peril, Tanner's been in over his head before. This time, however, he's in imminent danger of being buried alive. And it all has to do with the CIA, white supremacists, moderate revolutionaries.... and a blond jungle bombshell named (no joke!) Sheena. Tanner's always been a sucker for a pretty face and a curvaceous body, especially one that's wrapped in leopard skin. But this red hot renegade daughter of a local missionary is a maneater.

Lawrence Block: Me Tanner, You Jane (USA 1970) From the Publisher: It all breaks loose when superagent Tanner is sent to the emerging African nation of Modonoland to find a missing treasure -- and the chief of state who absconded with it. Tanner's hunt for the nouveau-Napoleon takes him from his own funeral (where he is buried alive) to the hairy jungle depths of Modonoland, where his only companion is an improbable Welsh-African Lolita named Plum. Together they prowl the steaming jungle, in search of the delinquent dictator who is the rumored captive of Sheena. Their trek takes them to a ravaged village and into the clutches of Sheena herself, a flaming, full-blown gospel-spouting nymphomaniac with a band of ignoble savages at her command. What's a man to do in a situation like this? In fact, what's a girl to do? In a bizarre and daring turnabout, Tanner and his 14-year-old protégée pick up some unexpected native help. A near-disaster turns into a cannibal convention as Tanner and Plum, now disguised, join the gang and break the proverbial bread with the most unlikely leader of all: the luscious Sheena who has turned madness into mission and missionaries into stew. It's black, beautiful, and very, very funny - Me Tanner, You Jane, the iconoclastic criminal caper of the year, a 24-karat winner, that will keep you laughing to the very last page. Lawrence Block: Me Tanner, You Jane. Evan Tanner, super agent, meets Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, in a hair-raising and hilarious quest for the lost treasure of Modonoland. A COCK ROBIN MYSTERY. New York: Macmillan, 1970, 184 p., $4.50.
