A long-lost bookmobile opens a wild new chapter in the lives of dysfunctional Texas detectives Hap and Leonardâstars of the hit Sundance TV series. Â Hap Collins is a straight, white, liberal, blue-collar tough guy. Leonard Pine is a gay, black, Republican combat veteran. Together, theyâre the truest Lone Stars living in Americaâs most independently minded state. Best friends whoâve shared a succession of low-wage odd jobs that have gotten them into even odder situations dealing with lowlifes, now the duo delivers their own brand of ass-kicking justice as private investigators. Â In this brand-new story, a dayâs fishing lands Hap and Leonard their biggest catch ever: the Rolling Literature bookmobile. A pillar of rural African American communities in East Texas, the renovated school bus vanished fifteen years agoâalong with its driver, Harriet Hoodalay, aka Hoodoo Harryâreappearing just in time to crash Leonardâs pickup into a creek. Behind the wheel was a twelve-year-old boy who didnât survive the accident. Â The kid was clearly running scared, but who was he running from and how did he end up in the driverâs seat of the missing bookmobile? The first solid lead in a case that started more than a decade earlier with Hoodoo Harry, this mystery of a small townâs dark and disturbing past will take all of Hap and Leonardâs witsâand fistsâto solve. Â Known for his âzest for storytelling and a gimlet eye for detail,â multiple awardâwinning author Joe R. Lansdale brings his rapid-fire dialogue, no-holds-barred action, and gut-busting humor to this original Hap and Leonard novella (Entertainment Weekly). The Bibliomysteries are a series of short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors. Â |
