Two Winners will get a hard
back copy of:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson
delivers a gripping, edge-of-your-seat tale of deception
and betrayal as New Orleans detective Rick Bentz is
forced to confront the ghosts of his past—and
a killer’s twisted vengeance…
The scent is unmistakable—gardenias, sweet and
delicate, the same perfume that his beautiful first
wife, Jennifer, always wore. Opening his eyes in the
hospital room where he’s recovering from an accident,
New Orleans detective Rick Bentz sees her standing
in the doorway. Then Jennifer blows him a kiss and
disappears. But it couldn’t have been Jennifer.
She died twelve years ago…
Once out of the hospital, Bentz begins to see Jennifer
everywhere, haunting and taunting him, then vanishing
without a trace. Could she still be alive? But it
was Bentz who identified Jennifer’s body after
her horrible car wreck, and there had been no question
in his mind that it was her crumpled form behind the
wheel, her clothes, her wedding ring. He’s never
doubted it—until now. He can’t tell his
new wife, Olivia, about the sightings or his secret
fear that he’s losing his mind, even though he
knows she suspects something is wrong. But Olivia
is also hiding a secret…
When a copy of Jennifer’s death certificate
arrives in the mail, emblazoned with a red question
mark, Bentz follows the postmark trail to Los Angeles,
returning to the painful memories he’s tried
so hard to forget, and straight into a killer’s
web. Reconnecting with his former LAPD colleagues,
Bentz begins to piece together Jennifer’s last
days, but each new discovery only serves as a chilling
reminder of how little he really knew about his first
wife. Then the murders begin, each victim a part of
Jennifer’s past, each grisly corpse pointing
to Bentz as the prime suspect.
Someone’s been waiting patiently, silently.
Someone who knows exactly what happened that night
twelve years ago and has been anticipating Bentz’s
every move. Soon it will be Bentz’s turn to suffer
for his sins. But he won’t be the only one made
to pay the ultimate price. For a diabolical killer
has now made Olivia the prime target...
