Miami Blues by Charles Willeford
Freddy 'Junior' Frenger, psycho fresh out of San Quentin flies into Miami airport with a pocketful of stolen credit cards and disappears leaving behind the corpse of a Hare Krishna. Soon homicide detective, Hoke Moseley is pursuing the chameleonlike Frenger and his airheaded hooker, girlfriend through the smart hotels, Cuban ghettoes and seedy surburban malls of Miami in a deadly game of hide and seek.
Miami seems to have eclipsed LA. & New York as the crime capital, so it's fitting that the best book on the mystery racks these days should be Charles Willeford's Miami Blues * Village Voice *
A hobo at age 16, then a decorated WW2 marine, then a teacher of literature, Willeford had two careers as a writer - in the 50's & 60's, with the hardboiled pulp in the style of Jim Thompson and then in the eighties with the four superb Hoke Moseley novels. The first of these - Miami Blues - was made into a film starring William Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward, and Woman Chaser is soon to be a major movie starring William Warburton.
