Excerpt from Book Chance Met Right now, Im a redhead. Ive been blond and brunette as the situation requires, though an unscheduled color change usually means I need to relocate in the middle of the night or face people burning crosses on my lawn.

I have handmade pots and broken radios, alleged religious artifacts and rare books in sixteen languages. A ceiling fan stirs sluggishly overhead, but it never gets hot inside. The buildings are heavy, solid rock covered with plaster, so its cool and shady when the mercury rises and even the lizards are too lazy to move. Sometimes people step in wanting a break from the sun or to get out of the deluge during rainy season, but they never leave without buying something. Thats part of my unique gift (and why I always work in retail). At one point I sold furniture on commission but it just wasnt fair--fish in a barrel. Ostensibly, I run a pawn shop marked by a simple red and white sign that reads casa de empe Details ISBN0451462645 Author Ann Aguirre Short Title BLUE DIABLO Language English ISBN-10 0451462645 ISBN-13 9780451462640 Media Book DEWEY FIC Year 2009 Series Corine Solomon Novel DOI 10.1604/9780451462640 Series Number 1 Subtitle A Corine Solomon Novel Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2009-04-07 NZ Release Date 2009-04-07 US Release Date 2009-04-07 UK Release Date 2009-04-07 Pages 336 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Format Paperback Publication Date 2009-04-07 Imprint Signet Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
