Her world is turned upside down when a redheaded stranger arrives, causing trouble for Colonel de Luce, Flaviaís father. Itís up to her to ferret out the truth before things get completely out of hand. Bradley won the Debut Dagger Award for Sweetness and, perhaps more importantly, is the unanimous Murder by the Book staff pick for Best Debut of 2009. 6:30 p.m. 2342 Bissonnet.
