Florida Grange, Leonard's drop-dead gorgeous lawyer and Hap's former lover, has vanished in Klan-infested Grovetown while in pursuit of the real story behind the jailhouse death of a legendary bluesman's blackguard son. Has she been murdered too? Fearing the worst, Hap and Leonard set out to do the kind of investigating the good ole boy cops can't - or won't - do themselves.

Review

"Four fisted action.... Like 10-alarm chili, Lansdale is pretty strong stuff."
--"People"
"A folklorist's eye for telling detail and front porch raconteur's sense of pace."
--"The New York Times Book Review"

Lansdale is a storyteller in the Texas tradition of outrageousness . . . but amped up to about 100,000 watts. Houston Chronicle "Lansdale is an exceptional storyteller." Rocky Mountain News Lansdale has a zest for storytelling and a gimlet eye for detail. Entertainment Weekly Lansdale's prose, both laconic and sarcastic, is so thick with slang and regional accent that it's as tasty as a well-cured piece of beef jerky. Readers will want to savor each bite. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"
