They're back—and they've got trouble.

Trip and Stone are up to their old shenanigans again. This time they're being stalked by an old nemesis who demands retribution. Meanwhile, a rare artifact embarks on a fantastic journey through history and across the globe to our favorite troublemakers.

Will it help them get out of another jam…or create a new one? With the aid of some old friends and a couple of new ones—including a wry, raunchy private investigator, and some dangerously beautiful ladies—our boys are cutting it close again.

You won't want to put this one down.
