A Prince of Their Own (Paperback or Softback)

A PRINCE OF THEIR OWN by Sidney St. James

A Novella

"Women are like the police. They can have all the evidence in the world, but they still want a confession!" - unknown 

With Vincent Gideon retired and living high in the mountains outside Denver, Colorado, the now renowned Bridget Flynn continues the Gideon Detective Agency's day-to-day services. Bridget can still remember an earlier case where Vincent let a serial killer, Rosenthall, the first book in the Gideon Detective Series, go free, and never over the next twenty years did he ever give her an understanding as to why. She was only twenty years old at the time.

In this second book in the Bridget Detective Series, Flynn is hired to resolve theft at a hotel in Black Rock Cove. Dave Henry, Jonathan Lane, and Stephen Moore were elected as the committee to search out a detective agency to find out and solve a rash of robberies from tenants living in the Riverside Hotel, an exquisite five-star place of accommodations in Black Rock Cove. Flynn had just completed a baffling murder case in the small fishing village of a bank teller two weeks earlier and found the visit of three gentlemen to her office in Portland somewhat surprising so close to her finishing the last case.

After listening to their report on the slippery capabilities of a thief and that no detective firms have been able to solve the case, she began to put a plan together. Her skillful ability to devise methods that help explain cases came up with a unique plan to give Hans Schedl his first undercover case.

Bridget would go in under cover as Mary Lynn Simpson and watch the case evolve as Hans goes in undercover as Prince Karl Haber of the Duchy of Oldenburg. His first stop was the Regal Hotel, a swanky ski resort for the younger fast-lane crowd. If one looked closely at the flagstone floor, the heating that was hidden underneath would melt any of the finest chocolate one might leave in a sack on the tile. The armchairs were perfectly positioned to watch the skiers and snowboarders come down the mountainside, and as they left their equipment outside and trudged in shaking off the snow from their heavy boots. His undercover assignment forced him to first stay at the Regal until he could get his credentials in order before moving to the Riverside Hotel, the only five-star long-term lodging establishment on any of its type on the west coast. Besides, it was there where all the robberies were taking place, and it was there the Prince needed to be to help solve the case!
