Publisher Description
Crime Scene Cleaner [kraɪm siːnˈkliːnə] - Cleans up crime scenes…before the cops know there is one.
People always say ‘you can’t go home again’. It turns out that doesn’t count as a guarantee…especially not during a global pandemic.
After the jobs in LA started to dry up, crime scene cleaner Grade Pulaski was forced to pack up and move home. He loves his family, but the last thing he ever wanted was to face the ghosts he’d left back in Sweeny, Kentucky.
Also, the place just sucks.
He certainly isn’t going to stay any longer than necessary. The plan is to save up enough money to move back to LA and give his business a kick-start. The problem is that, as previously mentioned, Sweeny’s a hole and the locals are anything but professional.
Now a body has gone missing, Grade’s reputation is being held hostage, and people keep asking whether his Dad really did run off with 100 grand of meth in the back of Dodge. Plus, even though you shouldn’t sleep with your employers, crime lord Clay Traynor is exactly the sort of bad idea that Grade can’t resist. Tattooed, bad news, and dangerous.
…oh, yeah. Grade’s job is to clean up the crime scene before the cops know someone’s dead. That’s why he needs to sort this out before he gets a bad review on dark net Yelp.

“Dirty Work” is the start of a new series “Dirty Deeds” by TA Moore. Come meet Grade Pulaski and Clay Traynor, who meet under the most chaotic circumstances.
Grade Pulaski is intelligent and he’s going to earn money the best way he knows how to get back to LA.
Crime lords, Adam Ezra and Clay Traynor own The Slap. They have a big problem! In the men’s room of The Slap lies Buchanan a dead bagman, who works for Fisher the head of the Catfish Mafia. Grade takes the job to “cleanup” and it get’s him into all kinds of trouble.
When Grades van is hijacked with the body, he winds up with a whole lotta “tattooed, bad news, dangerous” Clay Traynor. Besides being a crime lord Clay is an ex-military Seal and has moments of PTSD.
Just who is the guilty party? What kind of trouble will follow them? All Grade knows he needs to prove his innocence.
“Dirty Work” is a quick read, fast paced, gritty, exciting, packed with action and danger. It’s loaded with that special snark, banter and steamy moments between Grade and Clay, that TA Moore brings to her stories. Even though the story is written in current times, it takes the readers to a small fictitious town where anything can happen. It’s also a suspenseful “who-dun-it” mystery.
I’m not going to say too much about Grade, as the blurb covers what his plans are for himself. But I like both Grade and Clay and the connection that they make. The age difference between them makes the storyline even more interesting. They both seem to be able read into each others emotions. Is there also a secret about Grades father Tommy Pulaski?
It’s loaded with secondary characters: Grades sister Dory and nephew Cody; Harry, who seems to be a really good friend to Clay; Adam Ezra and Deputy Jones. There’s also the not to bright bad guys: Arlo, TJ, Hadley, Betsy and Nesmith the mouthpiece for Fisher.
TA Moore does not disappoint! With many of her novels, her imagination and creativeness is off the hook. I don’t know how she does it! One thing I do know, even with the danger, grit and gore it’s going to be a fun ride. I am so excited for the next book. With her wild imagination and characters I have no idea what she has planned next, but it’s bound to be great!
