With the help of Gates’ sister (played by Brett Somers), Erskine tries to use Gates’ love for his son as part of an effort to lure the embezzler back into the United States.LEARN MORE about this episode in THE FBI DOSSIER, everything you wanted to know—and more— about the long-running ABC-TV series produced by Quinn Martin and starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. THE FBI DOSSIER is available through Black Pawn Press, Amazon.com, and wherever books are sold online.
