The Way We Die Now by Charles Willeford
Hoke Moseley is getting into cold cases - no clues, no leads - and that's fine by him. He's wanted to close the book on that Miami M.D. murder for three years. But his boss has something a little hotter in mind but he is keeping it quiet - telling Hoke to just let his beard grow and sit tight. Stripped of his wallet, gun...even his false teeth, Hoke is sent south to the migrant farms where rumours of slavery and sudden death prove all too true. And now things really are heating up because a guy without protection in that no-man's land is as good as dead.''The Pope of Psycho-Pulp' - Time Out 'No one writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford- Elmore Leonard 'Miami seems to have eclipsed L.A. & 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 'Bone-deep satire..a harrowing and surprisingly amusing story..a terrific thriller.' - Publishers Weekly'
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.
