FBI Special Agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine have a new mandate as the government’s Covert Eyes, assembling a handpicked team of top-notch agents to tackle crimes and criminals both international and deadly. But their first case threatens to tear the fledgling team apart when the enigmatic thief known as the Fox reappears with a plea for help.
Master thief Kitsune has stolen the staff of Moses from the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, and now that she’s delivered, her clients are trying to kill her. On the run, she asks Nicholas and Mike to help her discover the true identity of her clients and stop the threat against her life.
Under strict orders to arrest the Fox and bring her back to New York, the Covert Eyes team heads to Venice, Italy, to meet with Kitsune, and finds nothing is as it seems. Kitsune’s secret clients are the Koaths, a family descended from Moses himself, who will do anything, anything, to find the Ark of the Covenant and wield its power, as their long and bloody history can attest.
To execute their plan, they’ve spent years perfecting a machine that can control the weather, manipulating worldwide disasters that spin the entire globe into chaos. From New York to Venice, from Rome to the Bermuda Triangle, Nicholas and Mike and their team are in a race against time, and nature herself, to stop the Koaths and recover the famous Ark of the Covenant. But can they trust Kitsune, their sworn enemy, to help them save the world from a family of madmen?

Players alternately place and move triangles around a board. Each player's 9 triangles have a number (1-9) on the back. Neither player knows which numbers are where. Each player designates one number as his Devil's Triangle (without knowing where the triangle is on the board). Triangles are captured by being surrounded on 3 sides by enemy triangles or the board edge. The first player to capture 3 opposing triangles or to have his Devil's Triangle captured by his opponent wins the game.

Quarters - the drinking game was mentioned in Ford's yearbook

A mindless game that actually requires a certain amount of coordination. Supplies: people and beer (as usual), a quarter (hence the name), and a shallow juice-type glass.
All players sit around a table, or similarily hard surface, and, in turn, try to bounce the quarter off the table into the juice glass. If successful, the player tells any other player to have a drink, as well as receiving another turn. If the player fails, play passes to the next in the circle.
If the player is fortunate enough to make three bounces in a row, this player may make a rule.
Anything goes. Some favorites are:
"Can't say drink, drank, or drunk."
"Can't point with your fingers."
"No proper names."
"Have a drink before each attempted bounce."
etc. (be creative)
If any rule is broken during the course of play, the violator subsequently "consumes some beverage."
Early days variations:
The glass that you bounce into also contains the beer to drink. The trick is to then drink the beer without swallowing the quarter.
If the player bounces and hits the rim of the glass, without the quarter going in, s/he receives another free attempt.
If the player misses, and feels confident enough, s/he may "chance" for another attempt. If the player makes the chance attempt, things proceed as if it were a normal turn. However, if the chance attempt fails, that player must drink the beer.
Following a failed "chance" attempt, the player may wish to attempt a "kill." if the attempt is succesful, play continues as normal, but if the attempt fails, the player must drink a full glass/can/bottle of beer non-stop.
