Miami Blues

by Charles Ray Willeford

Holed up in his squalid little room at the Eldorado Hotel, Miami cop Hoke Moseley never saw his assailant coming. By the time the intruder was done, Hoke had lost his gun, his badge, and his pride and joy, his dentures. When he recovers from his brutal beating, Hoke gathers his dignity and stumbles down the trail of a pair of ill-suited lovers, whose romance is fueled by violence.

Publisher Notes

Beware of the cop. He bites.Hoke Moseley never saw him coming: the person who crashed into his squalid little hidey-hole in the Eldorado Hotel. When his assailant was was done, Hokes pride and joy, his dentures, were gone. So were his gun and his badge.Recovering from the brutal beating, Hoke tried to figure out who had administered it. The one place he didn't look was at a pair of ill-suited lovers: an ex-con from California and a simpleminded whore was was studying business management at Miami-Dade college.What the two had in common was a demented interest in haiku, a Hare Krishna who died of a broken finger at a Miami airport, and the acquaintance of a cop without any teeth: the very cop who, as soon as he remembers, will hunt them down. All the way down.
