Fun, fun, fun. It's 1974. Foggy Moskowitz, a one-time car thief from NYC, escaped his last arrest by being declared dead after being thrown from the police car during a high speed chase. He came to in the morgue, declared himself not dead, slipped out unnoticed, and decided Florida was a good place to hide out and start over. He also decided to turn straight and maybe atone for his sins, which isn't as easy as it sounds even in tiny little Fry's Bay. But he manages to get a job in the newly created Child Protection Services agency, and sets out to save a drug addicted newborn when its mother absconds with it from the hospital. Then things get tricky. There are rich bastards, and more druggies, and mystical Seminoles to contend with; it's always raining; and who can a guy trust anyway? A little like Carl Hiassen, but slightly less whacky, maybe? Just exactly what the doctor ordered, in any case.
