About this ebook
“A cast of kooky, dangerous characters worthy of Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen . . . A funny, often harrowing crime novel” (Booklist).
In this follow-up to the Anthony Award finalist Devil’s Food, fugitive-hunter Loretta Kovacs 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.
Now, while she struggles to kick her caffeine habit once and for all, Loretta must fend off the advances of an amorous mob boss while babysitting the cantankerous witness in Seattle—the capital of coffee—in this “highly entertaining” caper (Kirkus Reviews).
“Fans of comic mysteries should add Bruno to their must-read list, alongside Laurence Shames and Janet Evanovich.” —Booklist
