Willeford used that to good effect in one of the few parts of
GRIMHAVEN he didn't cannibalize in the later Hoke Mosely
novels. Hoke spends most of the novel on his Willefordian
quest to 'simplify his life.' His eventual solution is to
commit murder and spend his remaining days first fighting
interstate extradition, then appealing his expected death
penalty for the remainder of his days, which he will live out
in simplicity as a ward of the Florida justice system.
