The Warehouse Coroner - Ardoin, Paul Austin

. .

Résumé :
A body in a locked storage unit. A coroner caught in the crossfire. And secrets that refuse to stay buried. Fenway Stevenson just wanted one quiet day off to help her boyfriend pack. But when she opens a storage unit in a gritty industrial part of town, she finds something far more sinister than spare furniture--a dead body wrapped in an expensive Persian rug. The victim? Her boyfriend's storage unit predecessor. The location? A facility with a known squatter problem and a tangled web of personal and professional connections. As Fenway digs into the case, she discovers that the storage unit wasn't the only thing the dead man had locked away--secrets, grudges, and possibly criminal ties are hidden behind every door. Soon, all eyes turn to the man's ex-wife who recently took full control of the storage business in a bitter divorce. Her reaction is colder than expected, and her timeline doesn't quite add up. But she's not the only one with something to hide. From long-time friends with shifting alibis to employees with shady pasts, Fenway's list of suspects grows longer by the hour. With her team in flux, her relationship tested, and a new sheriff scrutinizing her every move, Fenway has to piece together the truth-fast. Because the killer is still out there. And they may be closer than anyone thinks. Smart, layered, and packed with sharp dialogue and forensic intrigue, The Warehouse Coroner is the ninth installment in the gripping Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. Perfect for fans of Sue Grafton, Ann Cleeves, and Karin Slaughter, this twist-filled procedural dives deep into loyalty, deception, and how far people will go to protect their secrets. Step into the shadows of Dominguez County--where every locked door might hide a lie, and every clue could be deadly. Start The Warehouse Coroner today and follow Fenway Stevenson into her most personal--and dangerous--case yet....
