FROM THE PUBLISHER - Charles Willeford won remarkable acclaim for MIAMI BLUES, his thriller about Sergeant Hoke Moseley's war with a blithe psychopath' who turned Miami upside down. Now Hoke is back, impeded in his pursuit of a new Miami killer by orders to take on the cold case' files - seemingly insoluble crimes that are keeping his boss from a promotion. Then, on Hoke's doorstep: a surprise from his ex-wife to complicate his affairs. From Hoke's Cuban partner, Ellita Sanchez: tearful news that puts his diplomatic skills to the test. From the sensuous young stepmother of the boy whose death Hoke is investigating: a surprising offer that Hoke accepts at his peril, then turns to unexpected advantage. Syncopated by Charles Willeford's unpredictable dark humor, pulsing with street talk and street violence, New Hope for the Dead is a stunner by a unique talent whom The New Yorker calls extraordinarily winning.' inventory #26052 Small Bump On Front Endpaper, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn & Faded Dustjacket With Some Small Tears
