A librarian opens up her home to a bookseller after he loses his job. They hit it off, platonically. He becomes the handyman and she provides his room and board. But when they decide to have a tag sale one day, and she fails to show up for it, neighbors wonder where she’s gone. Years later, while court arguments take place about a suspect in her disappearance, not even that suspect’s own lawyer realizes his client is dead, too. Nor that Elvira Segura’s corpse had sat inside her house for two weeks before anyone discovered she was dead.
