Bert Lee, we have been with him before so we know we are in for a wild ride. Smuggled half way around the world for millions this is a very descriptive and well researched book. I have been to one or two of the places portrayed and it is obvious the author has too. This has some great twists. a happy ending, so alas the inevitable sequel. Enjoy this!
