When Barry Blake is found dead in the basement of a New Jersey bookshop, Cordelia Corbett is pulled into a case that hits uncomfortably close to home. Barry’s tangled relationships— including his fiancée, coworkers and childhood friends—turn a simple question into a maze of motives and half-truths, and there's no clear evidence. Running out of time and clues, and Cordelia and her team find out who was pulling the strings to orchestrate the crime? UNDER THE STAIRS is the seventh book in the Cordelia Corbett Mysteries series by J.T. Kunkel.
