About the Book

Johnny Adcock is an aging Major League pitcher, who moonlights as a private investigator. Major League Baseball, as it turns out, is a prime source of employment for a discreet detective who has both the brains and the brawn to handle the unique problems of professional athletes. On the bus after a game, teammate Frankie Herrera confides in Adcock that he has a “problem with his wife.” It sounds like the standard story of a pro athlete’s marriage gone sour. However, when Frankie dies in a car crash, Adcock knows there are way too many questions still unanswered, and he dives head first into the most dangerous investigation of his budding second career.

About the Author :
T.T. MONDAY lives in San Jose, California. The Setup Man is his first thriller.

Review :
“A sexy mystery . . .  pitch perfect.” —Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel   "Teems with sex, violence—and baseball. . . . T.T. Monday deserves promotion to the starting rotation of thriller writers."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch   "A world of murder, porn, prostitution and Mexican cartels. . . . This rookie thriller writer has homered his first time at bat.”--The Free Lance-Star "Filled with baseball lore, Monday’s novel is an amusing and entertaining literary thriller."--The Daily Beast "Don’t shy away from this mystery if you’re not a baseball fan. The industry is seamlessly interwoven into the story and you’ll pick up all you need to know without any effort. If you are a baseball fan, dive in headfirst....This is the author’s first thriller, but I hope it’s not his last."--Suspense Magazine "Monday has a “Dragnet”-like, just-the-facts style and offers lots for baseball fans to enjoy as well.'"--New York Post "Monday delivers an all-star performance with this series debut. Here’s hoping that Adcock has a more than a few innings left in him."--The Chronicle-Herald (Halifax) " Monday’s plot is inventive, but it’s the verisimilitude of Adcock’s baseball life that makes this one a delight. Adcock is a solid MLB citizen. . . . Here’s hoping he has many more seasons and many more cases."--Booklist, Starred review "T.T. Monday’s prose is wry, funny and just smartass enough."--Toronto Star   "A throwback Southern California mystery in modern pinstripes....A treat for readers of mystery or baseball novels, this debut will be especially enjoyable for fans of both." --Kirkus Reviews
