#1 New York Times bestselling author
Lisa Jackson’s riveting edge-of-your-seat thriller of
deception, betrayal, and a killer’s twisted vengeance.

Opening his eyes in the hospital room post 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.

Out of the hospital, Bentz begins to see his deceased ex-wife
everywhere, haunting and taunting him, then vanishing without a
trace. Could she still be alive? He’s never doubted it ---
until now. He can’t tell his new wife, Olivia even though he
knows she suspects something is wrong. But Olivia too is hiding a
secret...

Jennifer’s death certificate arrives in the mail,
emblazoned with a red question mark, and Bentz follows the trail to
LA, returning to the painful memories he’s tried so hard to
forget... and straight into a killer’s web. Bentz begins to
piece together Jennifer’s last days --- then the murders
begin --- and each victim was a part of Jennifer’s past, with
every grisly corpse pointing towards him as the murderer.

Someone’s been waiting patiently, silently. Someone who
knows exactly what happened twelve years ago, and has been
anticipating Bentz’s every move. Soon it will be his turn to
suffer for his sins, but he won’t be the only one... the
diabolical killer has now made Olivia the prime target.
