  THE WAY WE DIE NOW

  When Miami homicide detective Hoke Moseley receives an unexplained order to let his beard grow, he doesn’t think much about it. He has too much going on at home, especially with a man he helped convict ten years before moving in across the street. Considering Hoke has his former partner, who happens to be nursing a newborn, and his two teenage daughters living with him, he doesn’t like the situation one bit. It doesn’t help matters when he is suddenly assigned to work undercover outside of his jurisdiction. Impersonating a drifter, he tries to infiltrate a farm operation suspected of murdering migrant workers. But when he gets there for the job interview, the last thing he is offered is work.
