CiCi Larkin knows her beloved community, Palmetto Breeze, is powered by two things-- strong coffee and small-town gossip. Working the counter of Azucar's coffee bar, CiCi is ready for chatting with friendly regulars and perfecting that creamy layer of crema on every latte. What she didn't see brewing? A sudden crimewave that slams into downtown with the force of a hurricane. Break-ins, thefts, and vandalism targeting local businesses leave shattered glass and shaken nerves in their wake. With the town's peace cracking under the strain and the people she loves caught in the crosshairs, CiCi can't resist poking around for answers. CiCi teams up with her crime-solving bestie, a no-nonsense police sergeant, and a sharp-witted circle of senior sleuths to follow clues from beachfront shops to shadowy back doors. Because this trouble isn't random... And CiCi may be the real target.
