Miami Blues

Author Charles Willeford
ISBN 978-0440206002

The first of Willeford's four Hoke Moseley mysteries, set in a grubby, unglamorous Miami of the 1980s that has nothing to do with the pastel Art Deco fantasy of Miami Vice. Detective Moseley — broke, recently mugged, eating dentures-out at the Orange Bowl — chases a charming psychopath through a city of cheap motels, strip malls, and simmering violence. The best Miami crime novel ever written.
