The Book Case

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.
