Synopsis

In Robin King's new book, Strong Like Koffee, the protagonist, Koffee, is a young freelance writer living in New York City, and struggling to finish writing a novel. She finds her life to be lacking in excitement, and consequently decides to go to a club one night. While she is there, she meets a guy, but does not spend the night with him. She thinks nothing more of it, until contacted by the police, who have discovered him dead from a gunshot wound -- apparently murdered. Koffee may be innocent, but she is the last person known by the police to have seen the murder victim alive. She is thus accused of the murder, as well as theft, in addition to participating in an illicit affair. While events begin to spiral out of control in her life, she has to figure out why everyone is claiming that she is the murderer. Her future looks bleak, and she must ask for the support of the people who can help her solve the mystery, and prove her innocence, before it is too late. Strong Like Koffee utilizes an innovative technique, in which the characters are not described -- not even nationality, race, or physical characteristics. This allows the reader to depict the characters in their mind however they would like. In addition to being an entertaining story, the book demonstrates how just about anything can happen to a person, regardless of who they are. At the same time, it touches upon such topics as murder, theft, lust, alternative lifestyles, romantic affairs, and false accusations -- in a unique style.
