A coffee importer's murder. Counterfeit beans worth millions. Harbor Point's ethical standards under siege...

When renowned coffee importer Victor Castellanos arrives for the grand opening of Porter & Blackwell Coffee Roastery, coffee shop owner Maggie Porter is thrilled to showcase Harbor Point's commitment to ethical sourcing. But after Victor's body is discovered buried under a mountain of coffee beans in their storage facility, Maggie realizes her partnership celebration has become a crime scene—and her specialty coffee may have been used as a murder weapon.

As Detective James Cooper investigates during the town's biggest tourism event, Maggie learns that Victor was exposing a sophisticated counterfeit coffee network operating throughout New England. Someone has been systematically replacing premium single-origin beans with inferior products while maintaining fraudulent certifications, generating enormous profits while deceiving small coffee shop owners desperate for quality beans they can afford. When the investigation reveals connections to organized crime and money laundering operations, Harbor Point faces its most dangerous threat yet.

With Victor's business partners pointing fingers at each other and a criminal organization threatening anyone who interferes with their profitable fraud scheme, Maggie must use her coffee expertise and her community's determination to expose a conspiracy that reaches from Harbor Point's waterfront to crime syndicates in Boston. As tensions escalate and the truth emerges, she discovers that protecting honest business practices requires the same courage and cooperation that has always defined Harbor Point's character.

Racing against desperate criminals and federal investigations, Maggie learns that some ethical standards are worth dying for—and some people will kill to protect their profits.
