A Corporate Elements Mystery · Book 1
A fresh MBA, a fishy first project, and a question of ethics that turns into a question of murder.
Corporate satire, supply-chain picture books, and the occasional sermon.
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.
