Caffeine à la corpse, anyone? The last thing Stacie Maroni expected to find in the break room was a dead guy. And even worse, a dead guy with her name, phone number, and office location in his pocket. If that’s not bad enough, a fellow member of the foundation she spearheads seems to be missing in action.
Although these events don’t seem to be linked, Stacie is in the thick of things and sleuthing for her life. At least the two mysteries distract her from the attention of, and her attraction to, the handsome detective.

Kimchi
by Bonnie Turner
Rating: 5.0 #ad
Adopted by an American couple – the son of a Korean woman and a Black G.I. – Paul arrives in the U.S. after the Korean conflict with foggy memories of the family he left behind. His past haunts him as scenes from his homeland invade his mind at odd times: his mother, his sibling, and himself barely old enough to walk with a group of refugees traveling through a forest toward a mountain village, where they hoped to find safety. Su Kimchi – Paul’s birth name – recalls hunger, danger, and fear were always present.
Eighteen years later, Paul (Kimchi) is a paramedic with a local fire department. He also has a fourth-degree Black Belt in Judo, a discipline that relaxes his body and mind, calming the stresses of infernos, the smell of burned flesh, death, and his company’s racist Fire Chief, Bart Salsman, who lost a buddy in the war and hates Koreans with a passion.
