ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A hobo at age 16, then a decorated WW2 marine, then a teacher of literature, Willeford had two careers as a writer - in the 50's & 60's, with the hardboiled pulp in the style of Jim Thompson and then in the eighties with the four superb Hoke Moseley novels. The first of these - Miami Blues - was made into a film starring William Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward, and Woman Chaser is soon to be a major movie starring William Warburton.

Richard Hudson is a used-car salesman with a pimp's understanding of the ways in which women (and men) are most vulnerable. He sees himself as a walking allegory, the confidence man as work of art.Hudson lives with his beautiful mother, her blacklisted movie-director husband (twenty years her junior), and an over-sexed teenage step-sister. He feels driven to make a movie and, when it's cut and shifted to TV he extracts a terrifying revenge.
