Yes, Charles Willeford!

“Hoke, a darkly comedic drama starring Paul Giamatti, has received a pilot order at FX. Based on Charles Willeford‘s series of novels Sideswipe, New Hope For The Dead and The Way We Die Now, the project was written by feature scribe Scott Frank, who will direct the pilot and he will be showrunner if Hoke goes to series. Hoke is a story of mid-life crisis and murder that features the hardboiled and possibly insane homicide detective Hoke Moseley (Giamatti) in pre-chic Miami circa 1985.”
 — As far as I am concerned Fred Ward is and shall remain the only cinematic avatar of Hoke Moseley, but I suppose that anything which gets people reading Charles Willeford is, on balance, a good thing.
