In book two, George Basdakis has unfinished business in the States. The statute of limitations has nullified outstanding FBI warrants. Uncle Christos deeds his shipping empire to George ... along with links to a Columbia drug cartel. To break free of the cartel's clutches, George teams up with the FBI. Using a cartel thug as shark bait results in the arrest of key cartel members. While recuperating back in Athens, George is recruited by Uncle Alexander to work for the Greek Intelligence Service. His first task is to smuggle artifacts into an archaeological site rather than the reverse. George is next sent to England to work with MI-5. His 2nd cousin Lord Ashford (previously unknown to George) is the retired Regimental Commander of the 3rd Gurkha Rifles. He has been receiving death threats from Scottish extremists. Lord Ashford poo-paws the dangers, but his Gurkhas, three retired sergeants, do not and request MI-5's help. George is sent to rekindle family connections and on the sly to help mitigate the threats.
