The Elephant of Surprise: Hap and Leonard
Autor Joe R. Lansdaleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2019
Hap and Leonard are an unlikely pair--Hap, a self-proclaimed white trash rebel, and Leonard--a tough-as-nails Black, gay, Vietnam vet and Republican--but they're the closest friend either of them has in the world.
After
years
of
crime-solving
companionship,
something's
changed:
Hap,
recently
married
to
their
P.I.
boss,
Brett,
is
now
a
family
man.
Amidst
the
worst
flood
East
Texas
has
seen
in
years,
the
two
run
across
a
woman
who's
had
her
tongue
nearly
cut
out,
pursued
by
a
heavily
armed
pair
of
goons.
Turns
out
the
girl
survived
a
mob
hit,
and
the
boss
has
come
to
clean
up
the
mess.
On
a
chase
that
blows
even
the
East
Texas
swampgrass
back,
Hap
and
Leonard
must
save
the
girl,
and
vanquish
her
foes,
before
the
foes
get
them
first.
With
a
new
case
to
solve,
and
a
brand-new
challenge
to
their
relationship,
will
Hap
and
Leonard's
friendship
survive?
Will
Hap
and
Leonard
survive?
The
Elephant
of
Surpriseis
rich
with
Lansdale's
trademark
humor,
whip-smart
dialogue,
and
plenty
of
ass-kicking
adventures.

"Relentlessly paced"—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Joe R. Lansdale
"Very Texan, very American, very funny--and a stone brilliant writer."—James Sallis, author of Drive
