An asset to President Ann Kinji in the past, Serena is snatched in Germany and brought back to the United States for a covert mission run by former government agents. Realizing that her participation is not entirely voluntary, she is desperate to complete the mission so that she can be reunited with her family. As the case draws her ever closer to the conspiracy to kill the president, she reaches out to the criminally insane for help, sinking deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole where the bodies are piling up and nothing is as it seems. COVERT COFFEE is book #2 in the Serena Wilcox Mysteries Dystopian Thriller Trilogy (Angels Mark, Covert Coffee, Bluebird Flown). The Serena Wilcox Mysteries are grouped into sets of three books of the same theme. Each trilogy crosses into a different genre or sub-genre as the series takes off in new directions. Covert Coffee is Serena Wilcox Mystery #5 in the overall series (The Serena Wilcox Mysteries) and book #2 in the dystopian trilogy; only book #1 of the trilogy, Angels Mark, is a necessary prequel. The Serena Wilcox Mysteries are hard to classify into a single genre, and are a genre all their own, involving crimes that have never happened because the technology doesn't exist (yet), or because no one has thought to do it. Other features of the series are its offbeat plots (plots-within-plots with many twists, and endings readers can't guess), oddball humor and no graphic violence or sexual content, yet edgy (hardboiled) and contemporary, futuristic, or speculative.

Time travel technology is classified as top secret Project Scarecrow, but Project Scarecrow is compromised. Serena and her crew are hired by the Godel Solution Institute to catch the mysterious villains before history is maliciously altered. Serena is a quirky, brilliant, and flippant detective who solves crimes by following her whims. Is she the best choice for the world's first time travel investigator? Agent Estep doesn't think so, and he never misses a chance to remind everyone of his objections. Meanwhile, Estep is saddled with "managing" Serena with the help of techie-gypsy eccentric burned agent Beav and a crew of scientists, agents, and military experts. Project Scarecrow themes are time travel, Einstein, 1900's, World War 1, Argonne, The Monster Study, soldiers, agents, geniuses, scientists, crime, espionage, women in science, ethics in science, technology, futuristic politics, and offbeat humor.

Time travel detective Serena Wilcox investigates corrupt governments of the past, present and future with her heroic crew.
