Double Shot

Rare coffee genetics worth killing for. A podcast investigation that exposes deadly secrets. When preservation turns to exploitation, Harbor Point fights back... When identical twin podcasters Jake and Josh Cronin arrive in Harbor Point to feature Brewed Awakening on their popular show, coffee shop owner Maggie Porter discovers that her great-grandfather's 1920s coffee importing business was actually a sophisticated genetic preservation operation. The "e;Porter Reserve"e;—rare coffee varieties saved from political upheaval—could be worth millions to the right collectors. As Detective James Cooper investigates the electrocution death of one Cronin twin during a recording session, Maggie realizes that competing academics, rival podcasters, and corporate agricultural interests have converged on Harbor Point with deadly intent. When the town's most precious historical specimens are stolen and bodies start appearing in the harbor, the race begins to protect ninety years of humanitarian conservation work from commercial exploitation. With corporate security teams threatening community members and a conspiracy involving equipment sabotage, academic fraud, and cold-blooded murder, Maggie must navigate family secrets and preserve her great-grandfather's legacy while Cooper fights to keep Harbor Point's investigation free from outside interference. As legal pressure mounts and corporate intimidation escalates, Maggie learns that some family legacies are worth killing for—and some communities will risk everything to protect what matters most. Book 14 in the Perfect Blend Mysteries.
