Greenwich Village coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi is rolling with a
popular new trend, until someone close to her is driven to kill...
The Village Blend's Muffin Muse coffee truck is all the rage. But a
fatal hit-and-run and a shocking death at a food truck-catered wedding
give Clare a clue that something bitter is brewing.
Then she opens a bag of imported coffee beans and finds ten pounds of
rocks--the kind that will earn you a twenty-year jail sentence. Is her
ex-husband and business partner smuggling Brazilian crack? Is her staff
now in danger?
To clear up this murky brew, Clare must sweet-talk two federal agents,
dupe a drug kingpin, stake out a Dragon Boat festival, and teach a cocky
young undercover cop how to pull the perfect espresso--all while keeping
herself and her baristas out of hot water.
Coffee. It can get a girl killed.
