New York City bookstore owner Otis Parker is dead, killed by a falling
bookcase. A tragic accident? John Corey isn’t so sure.
With deadpan humor and
skeptical eye, the determined detective is on the case, and everyone
who has the misfortune to be connected to Parker is a suspect—the
failing mystery writer in town to sign books; the beautiful young wife,
and the bookstore employee who appears to be more nervous than
aggrieved.
