Title:
Hap and Leonard get a
heapin helping of trouble in their latest adventure.
Summary:
Leonard
and Hap have been through a lot together, but every now and again
they just have to get away from each other too. Hap has returned
from a stint working on oil rig and is looking forward to catching up
with his old friend. Turns out that is going to be a bit of a
problem as Leonard, not known for his patience when it comes to some
matters, is missing and is wanted by the local police for murder.
It
seems that Leonard’s lover, Raul, had decided that Leonard was old
news and that he fancied the leader of a local bike gang. Leonard
went to find his wayward love and after the expected insults, the
conversation got personal. Wanting the final word Leonard had also
brought his favorite argument, his shotgun. After a bit of ruckus
and the cruel putting down of the bar’s neon sign Leonard departed
at high speed with the biker gang close behind.
What
happened after that is anybody’s guess as Leonard hadn’t been
seen since that night and the gang leader was found dead out on a
back country road. Which brings us to the present. Hap has 24 hours
to find Leonard and convince him to turn his self in or the cops are
really going to start looking.
Like
a bowl of bad chili though the more Hap digs in the more layers he
finds until he’s not sure there is any end in sight.
My Thoughts:
I
haven’t read the other books in this series but this entry has made
me want to seek them out. The story moves at a good pace and there
are quite a few laugh out loud moments in the story. I can’t say
the story changes in tone too much throughout as both Hap and
Leonard’s lives are pretty much a hard road no matter what
situation they are in, which in this case helps the story keep an
even pace. I don’t want to give to much of the story away as the
banter Hap has with the other characters is what makes the story what
it is. So if your looking for an adventure / thriller with a sense
of humor give this one a try. m.a.c
