Mystery Amateur Sleuth
Blackmail. Bullets. Deception. It’s time to play ball. Johnny Adcock, the aging major-league relief pitcher who
moonlights as a private investigator, returns in the
thrilling follow-up to The Setup Man. Johnny Adcock doesn’t have an office; he has the bullpen.
That’s where he’s sitting shelling sunflower seeds after a
game, when up walks Tiff Tate, the enigmatic, career-making
PR/stylist behind the most highly marketable looks in
baseball. Tiff needs Adcock’s special brand of expertise.
Her new client is Yonel Ruiz, the rookie phenom who
courageously risked life and limb in shark-infested waters
to flee his native Cuba for fame, fortune, and freedom in
Major League Baseball. Now that Ruiz has signed a
record-setting contract, the Venezuelan cartel that smuggled
him out is squeezing him for a bigger slice of the action
and they’ve unleashed a ruthless assassin, known only as La
Loba, to collect. Adcock takes the case, even though the
front office wants to shut down his side job and has sent
its no-nonsense corporate fixer and “director of security”
to keep a close eye on him. Adcock is immediately swept up
in a high-pressure game full of surprising twists, double
crosses, and deadly gambits that will leave him fighting for
his life and in danger of losing more than the heat off his
fastball or a spot in the playoffs.
