The Shark-Infested Custard by Charles Willeford
From the master of Miami noir comes this tale of four regular guys living in a singles apartment building who experience firsthand that there's more than one type of heat in Miami. Larry Dolman is a rather literal minded ex-cop who now works private security. Eddie Miller is an airline pilot who's studying to get his real estate license. Don Luchessi is a silver salesman who's separated from his wife but too Catholic to get a divorce. Hank Norton is a drug company rep who gets four times as many dames as any of the other guys. They are all regular guys who like to drink, play cards, meet broads, and shoot a little pool. But when a friendly bet goes horribly awry, they find themselves with two dead bodies on their hands and a homicidal husband in the wings--and acting more like hardened criminals than upstanding citizens.Charles Willeford was the famed creator of the Hoke Moseley detective books, which began with MIAMI BLUES, and a slew of other classic crime novels, including COCKFIGHTER and THE WOMAN CHASER, all of which were adapted into films (along with MIAMI BLUES). He was a wartime fighter who received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart for his efforts. Before becoming a successful novelist, he worked as a boxer, actor, and horse trainer.
