No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
They are just four regular guys by the pool: ex-cop Larry 'Fuzz' Dolman,
airline pilot Eddie Miller, salesman Don Luchessi and drug company rep
Hank Norton. They live in a 'singles only' Miami apartment block. They
like regular-guy things: booze, broads, cars, and a good card game.
The
Shark-infested Custard is a startlingly amoral update of Dumas' The
Three Musketeers set in 1970s Miami. As our four male swingers commit
increasingly barbarous crimes it becomes clear that their only guiding
principle is not to get caught - by adhering to the 'all for one, one
for all' maxim.
Willeford joyfully applies the scalpel to the
vacuous heart of male America, where being one of the guys is always
going to be more important than mere life and death.
