Hello and welcome you tuned into the best and true crime talk radio this is true crime Tuesday. I'm your host Dave Shader across the board from the Tim Dennis. Hello Tim.

Hi. Alright, we're going to launch right into it. We do have some dumb crimes stupid criminals coming up a little bit later on in the show and I'm going to tease something out. I think in the next two weeks, Tim, I'm going to do another true crime Tuesday show that I'm taking the reins of no guests. It's just a case that is fascinating. Hell out of me. Okay. And I want to talk to you about it. It's about the death of a famous pop star. Okay. That I didn't realize that there was some controversy behind this death. And that it might actually be a case

Playing Dead, a memoir of terror and survival. Monique Faizan Ross is our guest today. The book is

available on audiobook, paperback audio CD and Kindle. We have a link for the book in today's program.

So you can find it there easily and be able to order a copy of the book. Monique, thank you so

much for joining us. Thank you for inviting me. I really appreciate it. I've got to tell you and

reading the bio line and the information about this. This is an important story for so many reasons.

And I wanted to talk to somebody firsthand and I can't even tell you how thankful I am the

terrible to give us this insight. This isn't a book being written by a, by a newspaper columnist
