Hap and Leonard, the two unlikeliest pair of best buds Ive ever met in fiction, are back for another violent adventure filled with unexpected twists, lots of blood and gushy gore and enough offensive jokes to offend just about everyone. But thats why we love em.

Haps contemplating getting serious with his girl Brett but is living with Leonard and getting on his last nerve. But before the two can hurt each other, a midget named Red shows up and informs them he was the former pimp of Bretts grown daughter Tillie who has fallen in with some shifty characters and wants out. Naturally, Hap and Leonard, always ready for violent mayhem, arm up and dive head first into their latest bloody adventure, meeting many new colorful characters, most with a long-winded hilarious story, along the way.

This is a Hap and Leonard novel and if youve ever read one you pretty much know youre in for a lot of laughs and a plot that keeps spinning in directions you couldnt predict if you tried. This one wont disappoint. It made me laugh, despite (or because of) its moments of pure lunacy and potty humor, and kept me guessing.
