Sort of a mystery/romance/ with a dash of madcap insanity, but what can you expect when someone is trying to go cold turkey from their expresso addiction at the same time they get mixed up with the mob, peculiar Federal agents, wacky relatives, and stuck between two opposing hit men?

From back cover: Parole officers Loretta Kovacs and Frank Marvelli have been ordered to find hit man Sammy Teitlebaum before Sammy kills mob turncoat Gus Rispoli, who's tucked away at My Blue Heaven, the Witness Protection Program's top-secret prison. But the bad guys don't anticipate the determined efforts of Loretta and Frank as they travel to Seattle to find Sammy. They also don't foresee Loretta and her mood--just as they hit Java City, she's decided to quit coffee cold turkey!
