He pours the next several years into expanding his father’s activities across Europe, all the while sacrificing his own personal happiness.
Some years into Reuben’s incarceration, the FBI Art Crime Team and INTERPOL offer him an early release from prison and a second chance for a new life in Greece if he helps them to catch a bigger criminal. Reuben agrees, and is now a free man.
Until they require his services again. This time, he must visit his own family's past in order to help private investigator Helen Hu find her missing mother and twelve Petros eggs, keys to the lost Amber Room…
