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.
