Firebrand: A Corporate Elements Mystery

Currant Keppler has a fresh MBA and her first corporate job: participating in the LATTE Management Rotation Program at Alpine Chalet Coffee Company, the Midwest's second-largest coffee chain.

She's fluent in jargon, excited for new challenges, and completely bought in - until she realizes that there's something fishy with her first project. I'm in the big leagues now, she tells herself. This is just how the game is played.

But when a question of ethics turns into a question of murder, she learns that some people will do anything to succeed – and that NO ONE is their authentic self at work.
