Hap and Leonard go to rescue a damsel in distress (again) (their friend Marvin's granddaughter who is living with a drug dealer), which sucks them into a convoluted web of obligations (again).

Oh boy, is it time for another adventure with Hap and Leonard? My little weird heart and I can deal with that..and if it gets to be too much, there's always The Miracle at Speedy Motors to provide some coziness - even a rainbow on the cover! :p

Thanks for helping me get this off my wishlist and onto my TBR stack. I *think* that's progress.

Here's another copy on my shelf.

Promised to perryfran as a wishlist tag, so now I really do need to read it ASAP. :p




Another crazy adventure for Hap & Leonard: as is often the case, they mean well, but somehow things never go quite as planned. Leonard can have my share of the vanilla cookies & Dr. Pepper - I'd rather have Oreos and Coke. ;)

Received this one in today's mail...looks like it took almost a month to travel from Hawaii! Thanks for sending. I'm behind on reading the Hap and Leonard series but will be looking forward to this one...

Journal Entry 6 by wingperryfranwing at Elk Grove, California USA on Sunday, September 27, 2020
Another wild ride from Lansdale and Hap & Leonard. This is the 7th book in the series and I've enjoyed all of the prior novels and look forward to reading the rest of the books. In this one, our heroes agree to do a favor for their friend and former police officer, Marvin whose granddaughter has been seeing and living with some close-by drug dealers. She has also been getting beat up on a regular basis and Marvin wants Hap and Leonard to go rescue her and bring her back. In the process, our boys do some serious damage to the bad guys who work for the Dixie Mafia. After killing a few of them in a shootout, Hap and Leonard wind up in jail but the FBI has a stake in all this and offers them a deal. They get freedom in exchange for finding the son of one of the Dixie Mafia's members and $300,000 that he stole from them. If they can pull this off, the FBI will get an informant and the boys will be off scot free. But then they really get in deep doo doo as they attempt to make good on the deal.

As usual, this novel was filled with the off-color humor that make these novels so enjoyable. They're also filled with a lot of violence and this one may be one of the most violent in the series. I really enjoy this series and look forward to the next one, Devil Red.
