4-6Knightley & Son series.
After his father's housekeeper is kidnapped, Brits Darkus Knightley, his dad, and his stepsister Tilly jet off to America to find her--knowing full well that they may be walking into the trap of nefarious crime organization Combination. Topsy-turvy family dynamics; amusing secondary characters (the Knightleys have Californian doppelgängers!); a juicy plot revelation; and fast-paced, over-the-top action make for a rousing third installment.
