HONKY TONK SAMURAI Hap Collins/Leonard Pine, Book 11

Whodathunk that the act of rescuing an abused dog would lead Hap and Leonard down a deep rabbit hole in the eleventh book in Lansdale's popular series? Employing an East Texas drawl, narrator Christopher Grant ably gives voice to the mismatched investigators and their longtime friends and allies, along with ne'er-do-wells from around their small town of LaBorde. A search for a disagreeable old woman's absent granddaughter leads them to vintage cars, hot women and the Dixie Mafia. Grant's laconic delivery helps provide a Dust Bowl feel to this suspenseful production, right through its twist of an ending. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2016]
