TAMPA, Fla. - Floridant -- Down & Out Books is pleased to announce that PLAYING DEAD, the 4th book in the De La Cruz Case Files by TG Wolff, has been published on February 19, 2024 in trade paperback and ebook formats.
About PLAYING DEAD …
The nightmare is over. Alexander "Rotten" Carter is dead. But when his body is dumped in Cleveland Homicide Detective Jesus De La Cruz's neighborhood, there are more questions than answers. Rotten was dressed up like the king of hearts, right down to the dagger in the suicide king's temple. The elaborate staging is perplexing at the same time it seems to be sending a message.
As Cruz investigates, he discovers Rotten Carter was more complex than the simple villain he had painted him to be. So is his murder, which is related to the deaths of his two lieutenants months prior. Both were strangled and found, with playing cards in their mouths. Jacks.

As the body count climbs, connection tie back to a dead CI and an accident that made a cop a widower. A web becomes apparent with one man in the middle: Narcotics Detective Matt Yablonski. But is he the spider or another fly?
Critical Acclaim for Books by TG Wolff …
"Pit against those who subvert justice and twist the law to suit their own ends, De La Cruz stands true while suffering his own demons—everything a hero should be. Wolff's unsentimental and precise writing draws readers. Add Exacting Justice to your 'to be read' pile." —E. B. Davis, mystery author
"TG Wolff's novel is for crime-fiction fans who like it action-packed and hard-edged. Written with feisty panache, it introduces Diamond, one of the most aggressive, ill-tempered, and wholly irresistible heroines to ever swagger across the page." —David Housewright, Edgar Award-winning author of Dead Man's Mistress, for Widow's Run
