When a Tampa cold case burns hot, PI Lo Walsh embarks on a heart-pounding chase for redemption.
Lo’s confidence is soaring.
He’s closed case after case, bringing justice to the streets of Tampa …
… that all was before Hennie Glass.
Soon, he finds himself buried in a case that’s had Tampa Police stumped for years, a case that leads him into a twisting web of sex, power, and blackmail.
But Lo must solve this case fast, because he soon finds himself in TPD’s crosshairs.
Now, he must stay one step ahead of a city-wide manhunt and piece together the years-old puzzle that is the key to his freedom.
You’ll love Interbay Squeeze Play because it’s written by a twenty-year firefighter.
My name is Thad Diaz. I was a Tampa Bay firefighter until I retired in 2021 with 25 years of service. I wrote sci-fi and fantasy as T. Allen Diaz, but I've always been a fan of hard-boiled mysteries. Now that I no longer ride fire trucks, I can tell my Tampa-based detective tales without concerns for my career.
The Cigar City Case Files is based in Tampa. Its stories occur in actual or fictionalized places tailored to this great city. The tales display its glorious beauty and gritty underbelly as only a native can. I still live in the Tampa Bay area with my wife, two of my kids and a house full of dogs.
