Paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner (F.A.T. to her enemies) knows a good deal when she sees one, but a raw deal is a different matter...
Finley knows it can't be good news when someone knocks on her door at 5:40 a.m.. 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...
Finley needs to post bail and hire an attorney for Jane. But with most of her cash tied up in credit card debt, she has to do the unthinkable: hit her mother up for money. As if thawing 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...
"An amazing talent...murder has never been this much fun!"—Cherry Adair

reviewed Knock'em Dead on June 11, 2014 Knock'em Dead
This is a stunningly good debut novel. The writing is very assured and the characters complex and well developed. Set in the South Africa of 1952, with new apartheid rules introduced to segregate black from white, Detective Emmanuel Cooper is sent to investigate the murder of an Afrikaner police captain in a small town on the border with Mozambique. What he discovers is a complicated story of power, race and sex. However he is hampered in his investigations by the appearance of the sinister Security Branch who are convinced of a political plot and will do all in their power to pin the blame where they want.
This story of power and corruption and the evilness that men are capable of is set against the beautiful background of South Africa. The author writes so evocatively of the time and place you can feel the fear and tension simmering below the surface in the everyday lives of those who are not white, male and dominant. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series to see what becomes of Emmanuel Cooper.
