Cousin: In book four, George is assigned to MI-6 by Uncle Alexander, a senior member of the Greek Intelligence Service, after the murder of George's second cousin, Isabell, a cousin from a branch of the Basdakis family unknown to George. The Brits are hoping George can shed light on her murder based on his recent interaction with Lord Ashfield, the girl's estranged grandfather. Suspects range from a British Member of Parliament to her maternal uncle, a Mideast arms dealer. Following a lead provided by the maternal uncle, George and Harold, a MET Detective Inspector, are drawn into a Chinese plot to overthrow the government of Djibouti where George, once again, crosses paths with Madam Woo. He finds she is working with a Pakistani smuggler, the cousin of the British MP of interest.
