Synopsis
Florida homicide detective Hoke Moseley's life suddenly went to bell one morning. His ex-wife had married a big-time pro ballplayer. His two teenage daughters moved in. And his lieutenant had dumped ever? unsolved murder in Miami on him. So Hoke decided to bail out stretch out on Singer Island, give up police work, and watch the ocean roll.
But trouble wasn't going to let Hoke get away. Not a stone's throw from his laid-back new life, a slick, handsome psychopath was planning his next armed robbery. The heist would suck a curmudgeon retiree into a life of crime, blast a half-dozen people, off the planet, and leave nary a clue behind.
It was a case right up Hoke's alley: weird enough to catch his attention, personal enough to make him mad, and twisted enough to make Hoke forget he didn't want to be a cop...a good guy in a world gone very, very bad.

From the Publisher
There comes a time in every detective's life when he's had enough. Having a nervous breakdown, two daughters who want to quit high school, and a very pregnant, unmarried partner tells Hoke Mosley that the time has come. A move away from miami to a quieter life in hotel management seems like the perfect solution, that is until a psychopathic career criminal named Troy Louden comes to stay there, bringing along his makeshift gang. There's a little old man, a no-talent artist, and a terribly disfigured stripper all caught up in crime, and all pulling him back to the job he thought he'd left behind.
