Killer Karma by Lee Killough (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia), who back in the 80s wrote a series of ground-breaking paranormal mysteries which helped set the stage for the current urban fantasy trend, according to people who know much more about sfnal history than I do. Anyway, this is her later "ghost cop investigates his own death" paranormal mystery, originally out in 2005 from the now defunct sf/fantasy specialty imprint Meisha Merlin (
Wikipedia), who imploded
just as they were going to start publishing some new/newly-collected stuff from authors I was really looking forward to reading.
Inspector Cole Dunavan is a cop without a body. A ghost who can't remember anything except his own murder. No one sees or hears him. He cannot move objects and initially cannot move through closed doors. When he learns that his body has not been found and the circumstances of his disappearance make it appear he betrayed his marriage and was killed by his mistress...who has also disappeared, he vows to put things right. A murdered cop, a ghost and an avenger working to communicate with his former partner, get straight with his wife, and catch his own killer.
