Working as an insurance fraud investigator shouldn't
necessarily be dangerous or emotionally risky, but when
former nurse Pauline Sokol's wacky uncle gets into the mix,
everything gets turned upside down and sideways. Even worse
than dressing like an old lady to get the inside goods on
possible fraud and a possible murder is when two of
Pauline's gentlemen friends go back and forth between
trying to help her in their own ways and being possessive
and strange.
A madcap romp of disguise and misdirection, THE STIFF AND
THE DEAD is an outrageous book with an excellent plotline.
Not only does it provide clever action, funny dialogue and
unexpected plot twists, it contains some of the most
hysterically well-developed characters seen in years of
mystery fiction!
Once a nurse, now a medical insurance fraud investigator,
Pauline Sokol’s going undercover in a local seniors’
center, where prescriptions are still being filled for a
patient who just happens to be dead. A little behind-the-
scenes snooping reveals the hard facts: the recently
deceased oldster was up to his jowls in an illegal Viagra
ring! Not that Pauline begrudges these elderly gents
their newfound virility, but it’s unnerving to be in the
middle of a group of sex-mad overage lotharios who
suddenly have the wherewithal to do something about it.
It’s bad enough that she keeps getting distracted by her
own fantasies about her handsome co-worker Nick…not to
mention her dangerously sexy fellow investigator Jagger.
However, there’s nothing like a few more suspicious deaths
to get a girl’s mind back on her work--especially if the
next prescription for murder seems to have Pauline’s name
on it!
