When Joanna Coffee’s ex, Detective Quentin Perry, is promoted to interim Chief of Police, Jo thinks she won’t have to deal with him anymore and can just focus on running her coffee shop. She couldn’t be more wrong. Quentin approaches her with an old case involving a man on death row-a man Quentin believes is innocent.

Jo can’t resist getting involved when it’s a person’s life on the line. But there might not be enough espresso or evidence to help her solve this fourteen-year-old murder before it’s too late.
