About this title

Review:

"...better than Hall and Hiaasen and as good as Elmore Leonard at his best." -- Time Out

"A blend of gripping action and wry off-beat humour." -- The Washington Post

"Hoke Moseley is a magnificently battered hero. Willeford brings him to us lean and hard." -- Donald E. Westlake

"No one writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford." -- Elmore Leonard

From the Back Cover:

Having a nervous breakdown, two daughters who want to quit high school, and a very pregnant, unmarried partner tells Hoke Moseley that it's time to simplify his crazy life. Moving away from Miami to manage a small hotel seems like the perfect solution, until a psychopathic career criminal like Troy Louden comes along. He brings with him a ragtag, makeshift gang that includes a little old man, a no-talent artist, and a terribly disfigured stripper - all of whom get Hoke caught up in a crime of carnage that pulls him back to the job he thought he'd left behind forever.
