With his trademark knack for gut-busting laughter and head-splitting action, Joe R. Lansdale serves up a bubbling cauldron of murder and mayhem that only he could create.
Hap Collins has just returned home from a gig working on an off shore oil rig. With a new perspective on life, Hap wants to change the way he’s living, and shoot the straight and narrow. That is until the man who stole Leonard Pine’s boyfriend turns up headless in a ditch and Leonard gets fingered for the murder. Hap vows to clear Leonard’s name, but things only get more complicated when Leonard’s ex shows up dead. To the police it is just a matter of gay-biker infighting, but to Hap and Leonard murder is always serious business, and these hit a little too close to home.

"The 4th in the "Hap and Leonard" series, and as always a lot of fun, a great deal of chaos, and some wonderful insights into the human psyche, including various of its twisted forms. I am reading this series slowly, savoring it, and often wondering if it deserves its own genre.," — Mark (4 out of 5 stars)

" some pretty cool twist and turns. as always lansdale grabs the reader by the ears and headbutts them. gotta love it! "
" Another violent, offensive, and extremely funny story from Joe Lansdale. The dialog between Hap and Leonard is reminiscent of Spenser/Hawk from Robert Parker's books. "
" This would probably lend itself better to the male reader, due to some very macho parts; but as an open-minded female, I enjoyed it also. I'll definitely look for more books from this series. You learn that there are worse things in life than the bad chili.... "
" I'd give this four stars without hesitation if my taste ran more to pathos, violence, and heavy suspense. Otherwise, good characters & plot, intelligently handled, lots of humor, and plenty of gritty local and human color. "
" Everybody with a sense of humor should have read at least the first 3 chapters in his life. "
" I just can't say good enough things about Lansdale and his writing. "
" Another great Hap and Leonard adventure. Lansdale created incredibly likeable characters with these mismatched, accidental crime solvers. "
" This book was way too graphic and violent for my tastes. I doubt I will be reading another one by this author. Story line and plot not bad but I don't need the torture details or descriptive abuse. "
" Not as good as its predecessor in the series, Two Bear Mambo. "
" Novel of a redneck sleuth. Kinky Friedman was there first. "
" Read this out of order because I listened to it on audio, and it's the only one I could find in audio in the series. Good reader. Has all the voices down pat. Story was great, very funny, very profane (I like profane). I'll read more of this series. "
" Darker even than the others, with some really brutal shit in it that was less enjoyable, but also coupled with some of the funniest parts of the series so far.... "
" Rough - interesting. A novel of suspense "
" Would give it 3.5 stars if you could do that on here. Great book, lots of fun, as usual from Lansdale. The dialog is especially sharp and funny in this novel. My favorite Hap and Leonard novel that I've read so far. "
" I like Lansdale's books, but I couldn't get through this one. topping off the gang rape and graphic violence with middle-aged sex was enough for me to give up on finishing it. "
" Hap and Leonard take on rabid squirrels, ticks in all the wrong places, gay bashing videos, grease napping, torture-happy ex professional wrestlers, and domestic violence. "
" It was a great read, loved the quirky characters. If you like Books by Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey you'll like Joe Lansdale. "
" Hap and Leonard. "
" I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a book than when I read the start of this one where a little squirrel comes bopping out of the East Texas Piney Woods and terrorizes the main character. Still, this was a violent story - more so than I really was comfortable with. "
" Bel libro, l'ho letto davvero volentieri scoprendomi un paio di volte a ridere.Peccato che abbia preso solo pochi giorni fa i primi due della serie di Hap e Leonard. "
" Not for the faint of heart. Lots of profanity and good old boy Texas craziness. Yee-ha. "
" I enjoyed that kind of P.I. feel, in the sense of them trying to figure out what's going on and having problems along the way. Not what I expected after Lansdale's comic books, but still interesting on its own. "
" Brady turned me on to Lansdale. Thank you Brady :) "
