Product Details

Product Description

From the Back Cover

Hoke Moseley's boss has dumped fifty 'cold cases', old unsolved homicides, on his desk. His ex-wife has dumped his two teenage daughters on his doorstep. His voluptuous partner, Cuban Ellita Sanchez, has been kicked out of her house for immoral goings-on. Happily, however, the wanton stepmother of the OD'd teenage junkie wants Hoke in her bed. But that could just turn out to be the biggest shocker of all.

3.0 out of 5 stars He cuts corners., Jun 21 2003
By Mary E. Sibley (Carneys Point, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: New Hope for the Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
Hoke Moseley lives in a residential hotel in Miami Beach. He turns over half of his pay to his ex-wife. He is a sergeant in the Miami police force and needs to move into Miami. Suddenly he has his two teenage daughters staying with him and his partner is pregnant. He cannot afford decent housing and has been tasked, along with two others, to solve ten out of fifty cold cases in two months' times. In the meantime he wonders if his last homicide case was accidental death or, well, homicide. The book is excellent--a thoroughly professional job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hoke gets a house. . ., Oct 28 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: New Hope For the Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
In this second book of the Hoke Moseley series, our loser-pants police detective must deal with various sleazoids while figuring out how to raise his two daughters who have been sent back to him because his ex-wife's pro-ball-player novio finds them distracting during his spring training. Sound Familiar? It's not. Funny and amoral, Hoke's counseling sessions with his daughters are not for the timid or politically correct. Lacking the outrageous antagonists of MIAMI BLUES or SIDESWIPE, this is not the strongest book of the series, but it is an essential set-up for the next tale. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent Character Study, Oct 7 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: New Hope For the Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
So often, you come across a series of books of a certain detective or private investigator and there is no character growth. Well, this book brings about a refreshing change in that procedure. In fact, Willeford gives us a whole novel's worth of character study and you wish it would never end. Hoke Moseley is arguably the most realistic, honest, and likable police detective created in this genre. If you are looking for fluff, do not read this. If you are looking for an intelligent, creative, and interesting read, this is the book for you.
