Dead Cold Brew: A Coffeehouse Mystery by Cleo Coyle
Itβs official. After sixteen books, our Greenwich Village coffeehouse manager,
Clare Cosi, finally becomes engaged to her boyfriend, NYPD Detective Mike Quinn.
Unfortunately, the vintage diamond Mike slips on Clareβs finger in DEAD COLD
BREW, opens a Pandoraβs box to a cold case murder that occurred sixty years before.
This chilling homicide happened in a stateroom of the Andrea Doria, a
luxurious Italian ocean liner that tragically sank off the coast of Nantucket in
1956. On board that ship was a gifted Italian artisan named Gus Campana, the
jewelry designer who created Clareβs engagement ring.
When Clare finds Gus poisoned behind his West Village workshop, she wonβt rest
until she uncovers who may have done it and why. Her search uncovers family
scandal, a charming thief, and a deadly adversary.

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!
