About this audiobook
A three-year-old murder case was coming together nicely. A killer Hoke once put in prison has moved in across the street. And Hoke's daughter has blue hair. But now Hoke has to pretend to be a bum. In a dusty corner of South Florida, Hoke enters a world of Haitian migrant workers, soup kitchens, and whores. In the searing heat he'll meet the man he's been sent to kill - the most vicious beast in the land...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great ending to an unforgettable series, I wish he'd lived forever and given us more...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great entry into the Hoke Mosley series, unfortunately this is the final book in that series written before Willeford died and even though it is set up at the end to be continued with Hoke as the head of internal affairs, we'll never know. Highly Recommend to all.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Charles Willeford is one of the undiscovered masters of the American mystery. He wrote marvelous books that are far superior to those of much more popular authors. This is no exception and features Hoke Moseley, his Miami homicide detective sergeant. Williford’s world is darkly ironic and the humdrum, normal aspects of life, become part of the tension. Hoke is forced to make a series of accomodations and compromises, some very dark in this book.
Hoke has been working on a series of unsolved murders when his boss, Major Brownley and Mel, an immigration cop, ask him to go undercover to root out the murderer of some illegal Haitian immigrants. The woman he is living with — not really living with in the common sense, they are chastely sharing a house to save money with Hoke’s two teenage daughters -- ex-partner Ellita and her baby, has begun showing interest in a new neighbor, Donald Hutton, a man Hoke has reason to worry about because Hoke believes him to be a murderer who was released from jail too early. Hutton had sworn to get Hoke. He’s also working on a cold case, the murder of a physician, and he has just uncovered a clue that he believes will help solve the case, so he’s not enthusiastic about the new undercover work. It turns out to be a bloody assignment — there is a truly shocking scene where the foreman of the farm tries to kill and sodomize Hoke — one that we learn at the end of the novel was something of a setup to see how he would be able to react in difficult and lonely situations.
Willeford easily ranks with Hammett and McDonald. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Willeford's last novel includes some pretty riveting scenes but suffers from the lack of a real focus. There are two main cases going on - not at all related - and neither really receives the attention it deserves. Perhaps plotting wasn't really Willeford's best strength. The character of Hoke Moseley is still interesting, however, so if you've read the other three in the series, you won't want to miss this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Superb final installment in the Hoke Mosely series, Charles Willeford's pulp-noir crime novel. Willeford was something of a pulp genius, a fine writer who got caught in the lowbrow section of the industry, but churned out some fine work. This is not Willeford at his very best, but it is, still, very good.
