From Cleo Coyle, the New York Times bestselling
author of Dead to the Last Drop, comes a gripping new
entry in the "highly satisfying"* Coffeehouse Mystery
series. (*Publishers Weekly)
THE PERFECT PROPOSAL LEADS TO A CHILLING COLD CASE...
Coffeehouse manager Clare Cosi sheds tears of joy when
her NYPD detective boyfriend surprises her with an
engagement ring. But her bridal bliss is put on hold when a
chilling mystery brings a wave of deadly danger to those she
holds dear...
After everything Clare and Mike have been through, they
deserve a little bit of happily ever after. So when Mike
decides to put a ring on Clare's finger, Clare's eccentric
octogenarian employer is there to help. She donates the
perfect coffee-colored diamonds to include in the setting
and the name of a world-famous jeweler who happens to be an
old family friend. But while the engagement is steeped in
perfection, the celebration is not long lived.
First, a grim-faced attorney interrupts their party with a
mysterious letter bequeathing a strange, hidden treasure to
Clare's daughter. Next, the renowned jeweler who designed
Clare's ring is found poisoned in his shop. Both events
appear to be connected to a cold case murder involving a
sunken ship, an Italian curse, a suspiciously charming jewel
thief, and a shocking family secret. With deadly trouble
brewing, Clare must track down clues in some of New York's
most secret places before an old vendetta starts producing
fresh corpses.
With recipes to die for, including how to make cold-brew
coffee at home!
