Classic Tales Audiobooks · The Intrusion of Jimmy: Sample

Newly-moneyed Jimmy can’t seem to get a certain girl out of his head. He’s never even spoken to her - the two have merely shared looks and smiles while traveling on an ocean voyage. But when he takes a bet to break into a house, and is caught by the owner of the house, (the chief of police, no less), a series of complicated events is set in motion. The first of which is the unaccountable appearance of his mystery girl. Soon Jimmy must show his true mettle, while demonstrating his singular gift for intrusion.
