Synopsis

Your next dose of pitch-black comedy, mystery, and mayhem has arrived as Hap and Leonard find themselves in a vicious and ridiculous situation—just as the best friends may finally be calling it quits.

When Hap and Leonard are called in on a strange request (subduing a meth-hopped hog) by a desperate young lady, they quickly learn this woman is part of a fringe group: The Hatchet Girls, who have pledged their allegiance to a crazed and grudge-bearing leader bent on bloody societal revenge. The timing couldn't be worse to be caught in such a vile, sticky wicket of a case: both boys are wrapped up in their domestic lives: Leonard is in the midst of wedding planning with fiancee, Pookie. And meanwhile, Hap and Brett are hard at work on their new home. Homemaking bliss will have to wait as Hap and Leonard are driven to stop the danger in its tracks and better understand the group's mission and the plans they have already set in place for helter-skelter esque mayhem.

Life changes, midnight sneaks, and dark encounters with misguided dames who yell "Chop, Chop," lead Hap and Leonard into one of their darkest adventures yet.

The boys are back! It’s another mojo filled mystery full of East Texas weirdness. This is one of Lansdale’s best in the last few years. Everything clicks just right, the dialogue, the setting, the appropriately larger than life Texas characters, and finally an interesting story to tie it all togethe......more

Wait… this is a whole series?! I had no idea! I need to binge the entire Hap and Leonard series ASAP because these two seriously crack me up! I was building my bookshelves yesterday while listening to the ALC of this one, and I was over here laughing my butt off—like full-on cackling. The characters......more

Hap and Leonard, ever heard of them? If not you sure has missed something special. Joe R. Lansdale has come up with the most wonderful duo in modern litterature and it's a hoot reading about their adventures. This one starts with an easy problem, maybe not what they usually handles but why not. A wo......more

Goodreads review by David on June 24, 2025

I’m just gonna say it—Joe Lansdale is a national treasure who should be talked about in the same breath as American writers like Twain, Steinbeck, and Faulkner. His novels and short stories, most set in East Texas, confront violence, racism, and poverty in language that can be both lyrical and downr......more

Goodreads review by Matt on August 23, 2025

Always good to catch up with these guys Last year's SUGAR ON THE BONE felt in many ways like a conscious swan-song to this *checks* 35-year-running series, so another go-round with ol' Hap and Leonard was a welcome surprise. Lansdale's still got it, though this one moves at a markedly slower burn th......more
