Cairo Rug Saga Brings George Jones to a Theft Dilemma
George Percival Algernon Jones in Cairo faces a stolen Yhiordes rug offer from Horace Ryanne. The rare piece, tied to Abdul the Unspeakable Turk, tempts Jones with a high stakes purchase while his conscience tempers the risk of a crime. He agrees to a partial payment plan, awaiting Cook's in the morning to finalize.
