“The Tourist”
After five crime novels set in a fictional Eastern European country during the Cold War, Olen Steinhauer examines the toll working for the CIA takes on one agent in a contemporary spy thriller, The Tourist
What’s next?
The Tourist is the first of a trilogy, which will see Milo Weaver through another year or so, taking care of loose strands from the first book and leading him (at least according to my plans) to last year’s Beijing Olympics.
What’s the status of the option George Clooney’s production company has taken on The Tourist?
Hollywood stays very mum on such things, and I tend to hear about any developments when Variety tells me. But I do know it’s in the scriptwriting stage. Clooney is still set to play Milo, but for the moment I’m not going to bet on anything. That’s the only way to stay sane.

Thinks sounds interesting. I hope George takes on the main character.
