[Finley Anderson Mystery 02] • Knock 'Em Dead

New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich praised bestselling

author Rhonda Pollero's first mystery Knock Off as "a great read with

plenty of attitude!" Now paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T. to her

enemies) is back for another sizzling adventure under the West Palm

Beach sun...Finley knows it can't be good news when she's awakened at

5:40 a.m. by someone knocking on her door. Her hunch proves correct.

Finley's pal Jane is hysterical and clad only in a negligee. It all

started when Jane went out on a blind date the previous night with a

hunk named Paolo and ended when she woke up next to his corpse. Finley

knows Jane wouldn't hurt a fly, especially one with a zipper. Too bad

the police don't agree... Having survived her own ordeal of questioning

and criminally bad coffee at the local cop shop, Finley's got to post

bail and hire an attorney for Jane. But with most of her cash tied up in

credit card debt, she knows she has to do the unthinkable: hit her

mother up for money. As if attempting to thaw out the Ice Queen isn't

hard enough, there's the unthinkable, part II: resisting McGarrity. Yes,

dangerously sexy P.I. Liam McGarrity has offered his services...for a

discounted rate. To prove her theory that Jane and Paolo were drugged by

the real killer, Finley will have to buckle down and work with Liam.

She'll just have to remind herself that she already has the perfect

boyfriend in her FedEx pilot Patrick. But this case is booby-trapped

with more serious pitfalls than wicked temptation. For starters, there's

the fact that two knives were used to kill Paolo. Then there's a

suspicious string of robberies. And when someone tries to run Finley's

car off the road, she's got to act quick to find a killer who wants to

see her underground...
