Description

International Business at its crazy best, with John Putnam Thatcher wishing the Sloan did not follow fashions and invest offshore, but in the old USA where they had some control over things. The whole cast has a rollicking good time, with Ken Nicolls the center of the action this time. John Putnam Thatcher comes to the rescue with the help of two incredible archeologists to help.

My favorite of the John Putnam Thatcher series, which chronicles the senior banker's all too frequent (if unintended) involvements with crime. In this one, a junior banker has been sent to Greece to negotiate a loan, and has disappeared in the wake of a simultaneous earthquake and revolution, Thatcher and some of his senior colleagues end up going to Greece to find their young associate, and complications multiply. This one is laugh out loud funny.

This mystery is in my top ten if only for the number of times I laughed out loud.
When Kenneth Nichols is trapped in Greece after a military coup and then framed for murder, Everett Gabler and John Putnam Thatcher (with the help of some lively lady archaeologists) must somehow extricate him and find the real murderer. One of the best and funniest entries in a marvelous series.
