PI Honey Winston is hired to steal letters from the visiting Prince Rubinoff, but once she gets to know the debonair playboy, she loses her heart in the process.

	Midnight Rambler by Jame s Swain; Narrated by Peter Jay Fernandez Nothing says summer like a pulse-pounding thriller! South Florida cop Jack Carpenter finds and old case coming back to haunt him when several young women go missing.

Only Jack can get to the bottom of it.
