In the hellish July heat, Hap Collins and Leonard Pine clean out the house of Leonard's just-dead Uncle Chester. But as they clear away the filth, they uncover a dirty secret. Beneath the rotting floorboards, Hap and Leonard unearth a small skeleton, wrapped in porno magazines. Hap wants to call the cops. Leonard, versed in the unwritten codes of his black neighborhood, persuades Hap otherwise. Together they're about to clear Chester's name sans outside reinforcement -- as they dig up the deepest, ugliest truth of all under the blister of an East Texas sun.
"A springloaded page-turner, a mean rattlesnake of a novel that rears up and sinks its fangs into you when you least expect it. Readers already familiar with Lansdale's work won't want to miss this one, and as for those who aren't -- where the hell have you been?" F. PAUL WILSON, AUTHOR OF THE SELECT "It's the snappy, frequently raunchy dialogue that widens the eyes and provides the burst of humor... When you read a novel starring Leonard Pine and Hap Collins, you spend a lot of time laughing and shaking your head. Emulating an early hero, Mark Twain, he uses crisp dialogue and humor to leaven serious topics." "I've never read anything like it. Not just a fine mystery full of unexpected moves, but a better novel about black-white friendship and rural life than anything I've ever read. I loved it, man... a howl from beginning to end. "
