SUGAR ON THE BONES<\/a>, the 13th Hap & Leonard novel by Joe R. Lansdale is coming!\u00a0 Here’s what to expect…<\/p>\n

\n

PI Duo Hap & Leonard investigate the untimely death of a woman whose family stood much to gain from her passing. It’s a holy mess of a case for the “perpetual bad boy” (New York Times) sleuths in this beloved series.<\/p>\n

Minnie Polson is dead. Burned to a crisp in a fire so big and bad it had to be deliberate. The only thing worse is that Hap and Leonard could have prevented it. Maybe. Minnie had a feeling she was being targeted, shaken down by some shadowy force. However, when she\u2019d solicited Hap & Leonard, all it took was one off color joke to turn her sour and she\u2019d called them off the investigation. Wracked with a guilty conscience, the two PIs\u2014along with Hap\u2019s fleet-footed wife, Brett\u2014tuck in to the case. As they look closer, they dredge up troublesome facts: for one, Minnie\u2019s daughter, Alice, has recently vanished. She\u2019d been hard up after her pet grooming business went under and was in line to collect a whopping insurance sum should anything happen to her mother. The same was due to Minnie\u2019s estranged husband, Al, whose kryptonite (beautiful, money-grubbing women) had left him with only a run-down mobile home. But did Minnie\u2019s foolish, cash-strapped family really have it in them to commit a crime this grisly? Or is there a larger, far more sinister scheme at work?<\/p>\n

Irreverent, wise-cracking, and full of atmosphere and bite, Sugar on the Bones is not to be missed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
