Hap and Leonard Thriller, Fiction, Crime & mystery, Thriller / suspense
Hap and Leonard return - Joe Lansdale's beloved crime-fighting duo are back for their latest escapade.
If there's one thing Hap Collins and Leonard Pine like, it's trouble - and they especially like getting paid to find it.
So when their friend and sometime boss Marvin Harmon asks the boys to look into a cold-case double homicide, they're happy to oblige. It turns out that both victims were set to inherit some serious money, and one of them ran with an honest-to-goodness vampire cult.
The more closely Hap and Leonard look over the crime scene photos, the more trouble they see. The image of a red devil's head is painted on a tree. A little research turns up a slew of murders with that same fiendish signature. And if things aren't weird enough, Leonard has taken to wearing a deerstalker cap... Will this be the case that finally sends Hap over the edge?
