"Nobody writes like Charles Willeford. . . . He is an original--funny, weird and wonderful." --James Crumley

"If you are looking for a master's insight into the humid decadence of South Florida . . . nobody does that as well as Mr. Willeford." --The New York Times Book Review

"Willeford has a marvelously deadpan way with losers on both sides of the law." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
