                                        "When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."

Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.

Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

Episode 5: BRACELET OF BETRAYAL.  The ruby bracelet begins to cause more problems as several people claim ownership.

This collection of stories, originally published in 1922, is the basis for an upcoming major motion picture starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

F. Scott Fitzgerald makes anti-bellum Baltimore his setting for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age seventy who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning "in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced."

This collection also includes "The Lost Decade," "Three Hours between Planes," "The Bridal
Party," and "Babylon Revisited."
