In the quaint, yet surprisingly perilous world of "The Daily Grind" coffee shop, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the scent of impending doom, a murder most foul takes center stage. Detective Owen Pryce, a man whose taste for strong black coffee is only matched by his sharp intellect, finds himself immersed in a case as rich and complex as a perfectly pulled espresso. A barista, renowned for her latte art skills, has been found dead, leaving behind a trail of suspects as diverse and intriguing as the coffee menu itself. From the secretive regulars nursing their daily dose of caffeine, each harboring their own unique secrets and agendas, to the cutthroat competition in the local coffee scene, Pryce faces a whirlwind of interrogations and red herrings.
