Based on the late
Charles Willeford's series of hard-boiled
crime novels featuring Miami cop
Hoke Moseley, the
Jonathan Demme-produced
Miami Blues opens with the prison release of
Frederick Frenger Jr. (
Alec Baldwin), a deranged killer who has barely de-boarded his plane before he's killed a Hare Krishna in the airport. Checking into his hotel,
Frenger meets up with
Susie Waggoner (
Jennifer Jason Leigh), a young prostitute with dreams of domestic life, and the two quickly become romantically involved. Meanwhile, the Hare Krishna murder case is given to
Moseley (
Fred Ward), a grizzled vet who vows to hunt down
Frenger, but may be getting too long in the tooth for the demands of his job.
