Description
xIn Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale's newest Hap and Leonard story collection, the boys are back with more righteous ass-kickings, highly improbable adventures, and disastrous fishing trips. These never before collected tales showcase the popular not-so dynamic duo who are little bit older, but not a whole lot wiser--Hap and Leonard were truly born for trouble. "You could call Born for Trouble a collection of stories. But that's like calling Paradise Lost by Milton a poem. Born for Trouble is a road map through 20th-century crime fiction."
--S.A. Cosby author of Razorblade Tears "[Lansdale] has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace."
--New York Times Book Review When you meet him, Hap Collins seems like just a good ol' boy. But even in his misspent youth, his best pal was Leonard Pine: black, gay, and the ultimate outsider. Together, they have sort of found their way as partners in crime-solving--and at least as often, as hired muscle. As Hap wrestles with his new identity as a husband and father, and Leonard finds love in a long-term relationship, the boys continue their crime-solving shenanigans. They grapple with a stolen stuffed dog, uncover the sordid secret of a missing bookmobile, compete in a warped version of the Most Dangerous Game, regroup after Hap's visit to the psychologist goes terribly awry, and much more. So sit yourself back and settle in--Born for the Trouble is East Texas mayhem as only the master mojo storyteller Lansdale could possibly tell.
