At a scaldingly competitive trade show in Milwaukee for the coffee industry, egos and tempers are steaming over such burning issues as store rivalries, product quality and employee-poaching. But events reach a head when coffeehouse owner Maggy Thorsen discovers a body under a table at the conference center. As the reluctant conference coordinator -- and a potential suspect -- Maggy must track the murderer, save her coffeehouse, and -- hopefully - put some froth into her love life...
