When Mike Gabrieli’s neer’do’well brother Tom disappears shortly after discovering a fabulously valuable Aztec relic, Mike rightly suspects that this time the family’s black sheep has got himself into the kind of trouble from which even Mike won’t be able to extricate him. But still, Tim is — or was — his brother, and Mike must do what he can.
