The Accused Coroner

She's accused of murder. And she's running out of time.

When Coroner Fenway Stevenson is accused of a brutal murder she didn't commit, the evidence seems airtight: the murder weapon is found in her apartment, and she had a public altercation with the victim just days before his death. But Fenway knows she's being framed—and someone in Estancia is determined to see her behind bars.

With the sheriff's office turning against her, Fenway goes on the run and sets out to prove her innocence. But clearing her name won't be easy. As she chases clues through a tangled web of secrets, she uncovers connections to a thirty-year-old unsolved murder... and a startling link to her own mother.

Each discovery leads to more questions—and more danger. With the real killer still out there, watching her every move, Fenway can't trust anyone. Not her friends. Not her colleagues. Not even the people she once considered family.

As the body count rises and the clock ticks down, Fenway must risk everything to expose the truth. Because if she doesn't find the real killer soon, she won't just lose her career and her freedom—she could lose her life.

Taut, layered, and emotionally charged, The Accused Coroner is a pulse-pounding addition to the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. With twists that will keep readers guessing, this hardboiled mystery delivers high-stakes suspense and unforgettable character drama.
