Buried In The House

In this 11th Winnebago County Mystery installment, Sergeant Corinne Aleckson is dispatched to check the welfare of a hoarder. His brother is concerned he’s ill, or worse. Aleckson learns the man is confined to an upstairs bedroom, accessed via a ladder propped against the house. She climbs up, looks in the window, and discovers the man is deceased; the cause of death to be determined. The family hires a crew to clean out the house and they make an unnerving discovery: the hoarder was not the only one buried in the house.
