Buried Mistakes by Michael Kaplan

THIS CUNNING KILLER FOOLED AN ENTIRE POLICE FORCE...UNTIL A LONE COP BROUGHT HIM DOWN

In Buried Mistakes by Michael Kaplan, one dead woman, brutally beaten and strangled, wrapped in a bloody blanket on the floor of her Oldsmobile Cutlass. The discovery shocked the quiet suburbanites of Wayne, New Jersey. At first, fingers were pointed at John Short, husband of the victim, Candy Short. John had tracked down his wife's body to the Willowbrook Mall parking lot that fateful night, yet his grief alternated strangely and suspiciously with bizarre lighthearted indifference. Although John Short had his defender, it was the overall lack of evidence that stymied the investigators. The Wayne police let the trail go cold.

It was six years later when George Brejack, a retired homicide detective, entered the case. Once known as the "psychic cop" with a gift for cracking seemingly unsolvable crimes, he meticulously fit together the jagged edges of the Candy Short mystery and orchestrated his professional resurrection. What finally emerged was a chilling portrait of an outwardly happy marriage that masked a nightmare of violence, greed, deceit, and ultimately murder. This riveting, nerve-shattering account of a Jekyll and Hyde character with overloads of charisma and sadism recreates a horror story no fiction can match.
