Publisher's Synopsis
"This stunning debut from Lina Chern is reminiscent of Donna Tartt at her best..." Shy scientist Mara is sick of Karma blowing off their breakfast dates, although today her stripper room-mate has a good excuse: she's just witnessed a murder, and the next body to turn up dead could be hers. Mara sets off on a rescue mission that turns up a perfume-selling wannabe cowboy, a handsome, enigmatic cop, and the search for the perfect breakfast cocktail. "Everything you could want in a crime thriller: guys with guns, girls with guns, girls with brains, the perfect breakfast cocktail and just enough marine biology to keep things interesting."
