Présentation de l'éditeur Northwestern Washington state serves as a backdrop for this wonderfully rich mystery series featuring history professor Teodora Morelli. With the smell of fresh pine and the threat of rain always present, Teddy dwells on the past, but it's her family's present that always demands her attention. A pleasant coffee tasting turns deadly when Teddy's brother-in-law is found murdered and a valuable chocolate-flavored coffee plant goes missing. As suspicion points towards Daisy, Teddy's sister, as the killer, Teddy leaps into the fray, unearthing vegetation of an illegal nature, drug deals and a huge wad of cash. Biographie de l'auteur .
