Sinossi
Quando il detective della Squadra Omicidi di Miami Hoke Moseley riceve l'ordine di farsi crescere la barba, non dà grande importanza alla cosa. Ha già troppi casini a casa, con le due figlie teenager e l'ex collega cubana e il suo neonato, soprattutto da quando uno psicopatico, che aveva messo al fresco una decina di anni prima, ha preso in affitto una villetta di fronte alla sua. Ma il suo capo ha un preciso progetto: assegnargli una missione sotto copertura, a molti chilometri di distanza, senza distintivo né pistola e fuori dalla sua giurisdizione. Deve infiltrarsi in un'organizzazione sospettata di sfruttare e assassinare immigrati clandestini in un ranch nelle Everglades, tra umidità soffocante e branchi di alligatori affamati.

Recensioni
This is the fourth and, sadly, the last entry in Charles Willeford’s series featuring Miami homicide detective Hoke Moseley.

I was hoping that Charles Willeford might be my post- Parker (I mean Richard Stark's Parker novels, not either of the two mystery authors with the past name Parker, neither of whom I've ever read) author but my first experience with the "Master of Mystery" wasn't very promising. A lot of people seem Leggi tutto
The fourth and last book in the Hoke Moseley series, published in 1988; soon after the book was published (see title) Willeford died! Jinx much?! At any rate, it felt like when I read it as if he were not quite done with the series, as some things seemed set up for the future (i.e., what about Ellit Leggi tutto
Great title---one of the best interextual noir spins on another title ever, in fact. Every time I think of Trollope (or John W. Aldridge, who copped THE WAY WE LIVE NOW from Trol), I think of Willeford, in the same way I can't think of "Stairway to Heaven" without conjuring the B-H Sufers' "Hairway
This fourth and final Hoke Moseley story is a heck of a lot more gritty and violent than the first, Miami Blues . There are several, unrelated story lines, each suspenseful, potentially volatile, and well developed. In typical fashion, the even keeled anti-hero detective barely manages to navigate so Leggi tutto
