Malice by Lisa Jackson

Before DNA testing was available, victims were identified by their belongings and looks. Rick Bentz is either seeing a ghost, or he buried the wrong woman. Now that DNA testing is available, it may be time for an exhumation.

New Orleans Detective Rick Bentz is recovering from a spinal injury so he is currently off-duty. However, he keeps seeing his ex-wife Jennifer appear everywhere. He can’t believe what his eyes are showing him, as he knows he buried Jennifer twelve years ago. Either someone is playing him, or he is seeing a ghost. He doesn’t tell his current wife, Olivia, about it because he is afraid she will think he is losing his mind. What he doesn’t know, is that Olivia is also keeping a secret from him.

When a package arrives bearing Jennifer’s death certificate with a big red question mark over it, as well as pictures of Jennifer taken recently, Rick knows he won’t rest until he has an answer. He confides in Olivia, and then he leaves for California to pursue the matter. One thing he does know, if Jennifer is alive, then who did he bury?

A killer has been waiting patiently for twelve years to make Rick pay for his sins. A killer who knows what happened on the night twelve years ago when Jennifer Bentz’s car collided into a tree. The killer won’t stop with Rick though. The killer has also made Olivia it’s prime target.
