5.0 out of 5 stars Another Tale from the Master, 20 Aug 2003
By Russel D. Mclean "Russel D McLean" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Charles Willeford's novels often varied in their quality, but whenever he sat down to write a Hoke Mosely novel, you could be guaranteed of a tight, exciting tale which keeps you gripped from beginning to end. Detective Hoke Moseley's breakdown and subsequent period of enforced rest leads inevitably to trouble and violence in the best Willeford style.

Sideswipe includes memorable characters, including Stanley, the old man who keeps cyanide in his walking stick to poison the local dogs. Its hero, Hoke Mosely, also remains one of the more memorable characters in crime fiction. While hardly likeable, he is a fascinating, conflicted character in the best hardboiled tradition.

Willeford is a great influence on many modern crime writers, and with books like Sideswipe under his belt, its easy to see why.
