Review:

"I fell in love with Phillip DePoy's writing when I discovered his Fever Devilin series, and now I have another reason to love him."--L Bradwell, reviewer

"DePoy's lively mix of Seminole history and the wry observations of a "Yankee Jew criminal" make for an amusing tale"--Publishers Weekly

"Atmospheric"--Library Journal Starred Review

"Those who are able to roll with Foggy will get an unholy kick out of the characters' flexible allegiances and the hero's colorful descriptions"--Kirkus Reviews

"An appealing, offbeat protagonist; a wacky story line; and a real feel for '70s Florida"--Booklist
