The Prince's Gamble by Caridad Piñeiro Guilty as sin... or is he just sinful? Two years ago, FBI agent Kathleen Martinez's investigation into human trafficking in New York was blocked by lawyers, who represented the Ivanov royal family. The delay caused many women to suffer – and one to die. And Kathleen swore that one day, she would make the Ivanovs pay... Now Kathleen has been assigned to an undercover operation to investigate money laundering and possible human trafficking at Atlantic City's newest casino – Russian Nights. And the owner? None other than Prince Alexander Ivanov. He's cold, imperious... and wickedly gorgeous. And as far as Kathleen is concerned, he's her prime suspect. But everywhere she turns, she finds herself fascinated by his contrasting nature – icy cool one moment, then burning hot the next. Worse still, she can't stop herself from fantasizing about his touch. Because what Alexander wants, Alexander gets... and this is one gamble that could cost them both everything!

Spanning over a century of cinema and comprised of 127 films, this book analyzes the cinematic incarnations of the "uncanniest place on earth"--wax museums. Nothing is as it seems at a wax museum. It is a place of wonder, horror and mystery. Will the figures come to life at night, or are they very much dead with corpses hidden beneath their waxen shells? Is the genius hand that molded them secretly scarred by a terrible tragedy, longing for revenge? Or is it a sinner's sanctum, harboring criminals with countless places to hide in plain sight? This chronological analysis includes essential behind the scenes information in addition to authoritative research comparing the creation of "real" wax figures to the "reel" ones seen onscreen. Publicly accessible or hidden away in a maniac's lair, wax museums have provided the perfect settings for films of all genres to thrillingly play out on the big screen since the dawn of cinema.
