My Lawyer Wife Buried Me Twice

From the back cover

Three years after his death, Fletcher Whitmore's spirit watches his wife, the lawyer Serena Collier, return to his ruined hometown with a confession she wants him to sign. She intends to make him take the blame for her first love, Declan Merritt, just as she did before, when she sent him to prison for two years to protect Declan from a drunk-driving charge.

The neighbors tell her Fletcher has been dead for years, beaten to death by the victim's family after his release, and that his mother later starved in the mental hospital. Serena refuses to believe it, certain Fletcher is faking his death to avoid her. Declan insists he paid the victim's family, though Fletcher knows no money ever reached them.

As Serena searches for proof and Declan's panic grows, Fletcher can only follow, unable to touch the living or stop the woman who buried him twice.
