Back again are Mac McCorkle and Mike Padillo, that formidably entertaining pair, this time taking on the protection (""guardingbody"") of Kassim, the crowned head of a small country where lots of oil has been discovered. Long live the king, even if it doesn't seem likely unless McCorkle and Padillo can permanently put away two others first. Again a high-and-live-wire performance from start to finish.
