Police have a murder suspect in custody. His fingerprints match the crime scene. His DNA confirms his identity. But according to the State of Kentucky, he has been dead for twelve years.
When a man calling himself Daniel Mercer is arrested beside a murdered county clerk, Deputy Coroner Rachel Boone is asked to explain the impossible. Mercer’s official death certificate appears legitimate, his burial is documented, and government records show that his family collected his life insurance more than a decade ago.
Then Rachel examines the body buried under Mercer’s name and discovers that someone else is inside the grave.
As she traces the false certificate through rural courthouses, funeral homes, and restricted state databases, Rachel uncovers a hidden system that gives criminals something more valuable than a new identity: a legally documented death. The same network that erased living property owners is now helping dangerous people disappear from every police database in the country.
Mercer claims he was framed for the clerk’s murder. He also claims Rachel’s name is already on the network’s next death certificate.
With witnesses vanishing and official records being rewritten faster than she can investigate them, Rachel must determine who is alive, who is dead, and who has been living under a stolen identity, before the state declares her dead too.
HE’S ALREADY DEAD is Book Two in THE DEATH CERTIFICATE CASES, a gripping true-crime-inspired police procedural thriller series about identity fraud, falsified public records, institutional corruption, and a criminal conspiracy capable of erasing the living.
