Cosmetic surgery, insurance fraud, and a dangerous undercover assignment

Pauline Sokol, a former nurse now investigating insurance fraud, goes undercover at Highcliff Manor, an exclusive plastic-surgery spa suspected of profiting from repeat patients. Her entry depends on a risky arrangement involving her friend Goldie and a false role as his private nurse. What begins as an inquiry into the clinic’s practices turns more lethal when a wealthy client is widowed and a receptionist is killed after apparently learning too much. With the facility’s staff and clients under suspicion, Pauline must contend with the sense that her investigation has made her a target. The mystery combines a medical-industry setting, deception, and an amateur sleuth working from inside a closed, affluent world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of women-sleuth mysteries

Book overview

Ex-nurse-turned-insurance fraud investigator Pauline Sokol's willing to risk anything to put a bad doc out of business--even her best friend Goldie's near-perfect proboscis! Her cross-dressing compadre has agreed to get his shnozz bobbed so Pauline can pose as his private nurse and gain entry into Highcliff Manor--a posh plastic surgery "spa" making an illegal killing with their repeat clientele.

But when a super-rich "frequent flier" is unexpectedly widowed--and a receptionist who knows too much is given the boot . . . off a nearby cliff!--Pauline realizes she's stuck her own nose into something really nasty. Despite the pleasant distraction of the hunky Dr. Neal--and the unexpected appearance of her sexy cohort, Jagger--Pauline can't shake the feeling she's being closely watched. And if she's not careful, she'll be the next one who goes under the knife!
