Publisher's summary

From the master of Miami noir comes this tale of four regular guys living in a singles apartment building who experience firsthand that there's more than one type of heat in Miami.

Larry Dolman is a rather literal-minded ex-cop who now works private security. Eddie Miller is an airline pilot who's studying to get his real estate license. Don Luchessi is a silver salesman who's separated from his wife, but too Catholic to get a divorce. Hank Norton is a drug company rep who gets four times as many dames as any of the other guys. They are all regular guys who like to drink, play cards, meet broads, and shoot a little pool. But when a friendly bet goes horribly awry, they find themselves with two dead bodies on their hands and a homicidal husband in the wings - and acting more like hardened criminals than upstanding citizens.

Interesting story, incredible performances

The performances were stellar, the twists and turns totally surprising and unexpected. This is my first of Willeford and I honestly need more.

Wild times back in Florida

This was especially good for about half its running time. The 4 guys living the wild single life in Florida, with colorful language and interesting settings. For some reason the story and developments became less interesting later on in the book. The narration is good, but had a couple of minor technical problems like they re-recorded some sections later.
