trunk

    Article

    A storage space usually found toward the rear of a vehicle, especially if the vehicle has a back seat.

    Frequently in detective stories, trunks function as spaces to hide incriminating evidence, including dead bodies, weapons, drugs, or explosives. Tony Hillerman's work is no exception.
