13 BOOKS

Thirteen books are stacked on a shelf.  Nobody knows how they got there. Nobody knows who put them there.  Handwritten inside each book is a short verse.

A body lies on the floor below the books, in a state of decomposition.  The thirteen books have a story to tell… but what will they reveal?

Though well hidden;

Although forbidden.
