Book Description:
In Avocato's third comic Pauline Sokol mystery (after The Stiff and the Dead), the ex-nurse turned insurance fraud investigator finds herself drugged, kidnapped and locked in a mental institution under a fictitious name. Enter enigmatic Jagger, who's masquerading as a doctor this time around and, as usual, doesn't tell Pauline much except that she's supposed to investigate a scam involving the placement of "mental patients" for insurance bounty money. Surrounded as she is by oddball inmates and "nuns" with French manicures, it's a tough call to determine who's bonkers and who's not. When one of the nuns ends up impaled on a broom handle and a naked patient gets a little too friendly, Jagger tries to pull Pauline from the case, but our spunky heroine has ideas of her own.

This series is exactly like the Evanovich series. The heroines are interchangable. If you like one, you will like the other.

Former nurse-turned-insurance fraud p.i. Pauline Sokol's current undercover investigation into a sleazy psychiatric scam has hit a small snag: she's been forcibly committed to a mental institution! She IS sane, but can't convince the nuns that run the place. Pauline's crime-solving cohort Jagger won't help her, so she delves into the place's secrets until she realizes she's in over her head. A death occurs, and Pauline realizes she needs Jagger and her family to help her escape.
