    About this ebook

    “A cast of kooky, dangerous characters worthy of Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiassen…A funny, often harrowing crime novel.” —BOOKLIST

    In Double Espresso, the second book in the Loretta Kovacs thriller series, Loretta races to keep one hitman from killing another. The intended victim is a valuable government witness against the mob, and a dirty FBI agent is helping the bad guys. Loretta must fend off the advances of an amorous mob boss while babysitting the cantankerous witness in Seattle – Java City – as she desperately struggles to kick her caffeine habit.
