The Courtroom Coroner: A Hardboiled Locked Room Mystery

Fenway Stevenson came to her father's arraignment to support him. She didn't expect another murder—this time, right before her eyes.

When two gunshots shatter the tense courtroom, panic erupts—and the doors lock automatically, trapping Fenway inside with twelve others.

One of them is the killer.

With no backup, limited tools, and time running out, Fenway must piece together the evidence before anyone else is hurt.

But with communication to the outside world cut off, she's left to sift through a web of lies, mounting fear, and buried secrets. Everyone in the room has something to hide-and the closer Fenway gets to the truth, the more danger she's in.

Smart, claustrophobic, and packed with forensic intrigue, The Courtroom Coroner delivers a locked-room mystery with high emotional stakes and a twist you won't see coming. Fans of Kathy Reichs, Sue Grafton, and Tana French will find a new favorite in Fenway Stevenson.
