About ONCE UPON A GRIND

WILL THIS SLEEPING BEAUTY SLEEP FOREVER?

Are you ready to enter a storybook New York that you've never seen before? Join coffeehouse manager turned amateur sleuth Clare Cosi as she opens secret doors (uptown and down), dodges a deadly predator, and investigates a cold case murder that's been unsolved since the Cold War.

It all begins when Clare discovers the body of a young model in Central Park’s woods. The police dismiss “sleeping beauty” as the tragic victim of a drug overdose. But Clare uncovers evidence that points to a list of suspects—from a New York Giant to a wolf of Wall Street and quite a few wicked witches. Now Clare is really in the woods with a dangerous predator on her heels and an investigation that leads from a secret Prince Charming Club right back to her own NYPD detective boyfriend.

This clever, fast-paced culinary mystery delivers a page-turning story with suspense, romance, humor, and heart—all in a fabulous New York setting with an appendix of delicious recipes, including Black Forest Brownies and the most amazing Silver Dollar Chocolate Chip Cookies!
