Synopsis
Look the Part. Die the Part.
A three-year-old murder case was coming together nicely. A killer Hoke had once put in prison has moved into the house across the street. And Hoke Moseley's daughter has blue hair. But now Hoke has to walk away from his life and pretend to be a bum. Turns out it isn't hard.
Hoke hands over his teeth, wallet, and gun on the hot Tamiani Trail -- the highway that connects Miami and Naples by way of the alligator-infested Everglades. Hoke's boss, Major Willie Brownley, has arranged this little undercover adventure. And what an adventure it will be.
In a dusty corner of South Florida, Hoke enters a world of Haitian migrant workers, soup kitchens, and forgotten whores. And in the searing heat he'll meet the man he's been sent to kill -- the most vicious beast in the land...

Review
"Elegant, tough and rhythmic as a championship boxing match." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Hoke Moseley is a magnificently battered hero. Willeford bring him to us lean and hard." -- Donald E. Westlake
"No one writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford." -- Elmore Leonard
"Willeford knows his characters the way Simenon knew his and has besides a vaulting comic imagination." -- Time Out
From the Back Cover
Stripped of his wallet, gun - even his false teeth - Hoke is sent South to the migrant farms where rumours of slavery and sudden death abound. Now things are really going to heat up... because a guy without protection in that no man's land is as good as dead!
