When a racially motivated crime threatens to tear an East Texas town apart, Hap and Leonard are on the case - and in for some trouble. 9.5"x6.5", 275 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Detective Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are far from the world's smartest investigators. To make matters worse, they have a knack for getting themselves into scrapes the size of Texas. But what are Hap, a self-proclaimed white-trash rebel, and Leonard, a gay, black, Republican Vietnam vet, to do when their latest trouble is the law itself? When Hap looks into the case of a young black woman whose brother was murdered by the neighboring town's police, the duo come head-to-head with crooked cops, cross-eyed hit men, and even a vengeance-filled vampire midget (or maybe just a little girl with a bad temper). When the two discover an illegal fighting circuit in which the losers become "rusty puppies" after their bodies are dumped into a toxic pit, it isn't long before a swarm of unruly and calculating law enforcers surrounds the private eyes. They've faced their share of bigotry and intimidation, but could Hap and Leonard have finally met their match? With Joe Lansdale's blistering dialogue and supersized characters, Rusty Puppy is a fast-paced novel full of thrills, spills, and plenty of heart.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover.
