They give us the catharsis of adrenaline-pumping risk and danger, the rush of edge-of-your seat suspense, and a welcome escape from the sameness of everyday life. These three stories provide all that and more-and even better, they're given to you in the wonderfully readable format of screenplays.

Under the Double Eagle introduces you to the fascinating and dangerous world of the rare coin trade, focusing on a coveted 1933 solid gold Double Eagle coin...a coin that should have been destroyed when President Roosevelt took America off the gold standard. Entrepreneur Leon Hambright and his sexy girlfriend April chase the coin right into the net of Marc Pinion, owner of a chain of shady Asian massage parlors, who will stop at nothing to get what he wants-will Leon and April also sacrifice the people they love to get the fabulous coin, or will they challenge Marc on his own territory?
