Another good one in the Hap and Leonard series by Lansdale full of the usual gross humor and violence. In this one, Hap starts out by being bit by a rabid squirrel which necessitates a stay in the hospital. There he meets his new girlfriend, Brett, who works there as a nurse. While in the hospital, Leonard, Hap's black homosexual friend, seems to be the culprit in the death of a murdered motorcycle thug who also was involved with Leonard's former boyfriend, Raul. Well Hap and Leonard get drawn into trying to figure out how and why the motorcycle thug was killed. This leads to a very vile operation involving bootleg violent homosexual sex tapes and a former wrestler named Big Man Mountain who has very creative ways to torture people including the use of ice and car batteries. A few dead bodies turn up along the way and even a tornado makes an appearance before this one is over!

I have enjoyed the first few books in this series as well as some of Lansdale's other novels which are always a fun ride. I also liked the Hap and Leonard TV series which unfortunately got cancelled. I will be looking forward to reading more Lansdale.
