My Killer: A Supernatural Crime Thriller, Gary Sherbell, 2023
Joel is an Assistant District Attorney in present-day Manhattan. Karen is a co-worker, and his lover. Susan, Joel's wife, is similarly fooling around. The love left their marriage a long time ago.
Joel recently convicted a black man named Henry Nance for shooting a cop (even though the cop drew his weapon first). The Nance family is not going to let this go. A few days later, Karen and Joel save an elderly black woman from being mugged. She is a voodoo priestess, and tells Joel that if he dies in the next 14 days, his soul will enter the body of the person who is physically closest to him. The soul already inhabiting that body will disappear forever.
Two black hit men approach Karen and Joel, with murder on their minds. Karen survives, but Joel is killed. He now inhabits the body of a black man named Frank Davis. One can imagine the problems that this can cause. Can Joel/Frank convince anyone that he is not dead? Does he get arrested for Joel's murder, and thrown in prison? Can Joel discover who put out the hit on him?
This is a really good, and gritty, crime thriller novel, with a little bit of weird. It is very easy to read and understand, and will very much keep the reader's interest.
