Excellent thriller/mystery. Semi-cozy. Tanner, a coffee entrepreneur, accidentally picks up the laptop of a senator. The laptop contains top secret info on a govt. Big Brother spying operation. Tanner brings it to a reporter friend who is promptly dead (suicide, but we suspect murder). The senator's chief of staff, Will, wants the laptop back and will do anything to get it. Interesting in that NONE of the characters are stock villains or heroes. Both grow into their roles. Will becomes more ruthless; Tanner more resourceful. Chase scenes, hit-and-run, marriage and baby problems. Really a different mystery.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
