Dead on Arrival, The Pauline Sokol Mysteries

An insurance fraud investigator goes undercover to expose an aerial ambulance company—only to discover that corruption can kill.

Medical insurance fraud investigator Pauline Sokol likes to keep her feet firmly on the ground, but her new undercover assignment has the aero-phobic ex-nurse up in the air. Compelled by her convictions of right and wrong, she takes off in order to investigate a land-and-air ambulance company. They’ve been doing some rather creative billing, and Pauline needs to go undercover as a nurse—and overcome her fear of flying—to put a stop to their sky-high fraud.

But when the company’s owner is found dead and Pauline starts to receive threatening phone calls, the air suddenly begins to feel safer than the ground. With the help of Jagger, her irritating but undeniably handsome fellow investigator, Pauline needs to solve this case soon. If she doesn’t, not even a jolt of electricity from the sexy paramedic Dano will be enough to revive her.

Lori Avocato

After working thirteen years as a registered nurse, four of which she felt like "Hot Lips Houlihan" while serving in the US Air Force, Lori Avocato picked up a book and said, "Hm. I can write one of these." Yeah right! Oh, she wrote several all right—seventeen to be exact—but getting them published proved to be another matter. Throughout the years, she realized it was not an easy task to write a book, much less a short, concise one. However, now as an award-winning author, Lori is multi-published with fifteen books currently sold in which her humor lends itself to her comedic voice, including the wildly popular Pauline Sokol Mysteries. She writes contemporary novels and often uses her military, medical, or a combination of both backgrounds in her plots. As an air force veteran, Lori belongs to RomVets and The Nathan Hale Chapter of Military Officers Association. As a writer, she belongs to The Author's Guild, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Romance Writers of America along with several local chapters. Lori lives in the New England area, raising two teenage sons (Heaven help her!), and, of course, continues to write novels.
