KNOCK 'EM DEAD
Released: March 2008

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 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 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 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 Jane isn’t a killer, Finley will have to buckle down and work with Liam.  She just has to keep reminding 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 tried to run Finley off the road, she’s got to act quick to find a killer who wants to see her underground.

Quotes:

“Pollero spins the hilarious tale of a paralegal whose loyalty to a client imperils her bargain-chasing.  Finley's firm sense of priorities and laser-accurate descriptions of the most banal circumstances will make readers eager for an encore. ” 
– Starred Kirkus Review

“She shops, and the bodies drop.  It's easy to dismiss Finley Anderson Tanner, just like those fools tended to dismiss Elle Wood in the movie "Legally Blonde.  But Pollero also makes sure the mystery element and the plot are tightly centered. ” 
– Florida Sun Sentinel
