<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Hap and Leonard</i> is now a Sundance TV series starring James Purefoy and Michael Kenneth Williams.</b> <p/>If there's one thing Hap Collins and Leonard Pine like, it's trouble--and they especially like getting paid to find it. So when their friend and sometime boss Marvin Harmon asks the boys to look into a cold-case double homicide, they're happy to oblige. It turns out that both victims were set to inherit some serious money, and one of them ran with an honest-to-goodness vampire cult. The more closely Hap and Leonard look over the crime-scene photos, the more trouble they see. The image of a red devil's head painted on a tree is just the beginning--a little research turns up a slew of murders with that same fiendish signature. And if things aren't weird enough, Leonard has taken to wearing a deestalker cap . . . Will this be the case that finally sends Hap over the edge?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Joe Lansdale may be Texas's bloody answer to Mark Twain." --<i>The Austin Chronicle</i> <p/>"Good, foul-mouthed fun." --<i>Texas Monthly</i> <p/>"The humor and dialogue keep the narrative rocketing along." --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>"Joe R.
