Hap, a former 60s activist and self-proclaimed white trash rebel, is recovering from a life-threatening stab wound. He’s hoping to take it easy, but then Louise Elton arrives with a job. Months earlier, a bully cop pulled over and sexually harassed Louise’s daughter, Charm. When he started stalking her, her brother Jamar tried to get evidence on him. The next thing Louise knew, Jamar got in a fight and was killed by local hoods. It doesn’t add up: he was a straight-A student, destined for better things, until he began to ask too many questions about the racist police force. Leonard, a tough black gay Vietnam vet and Republican, joins Hap in the investigation, and they stumble upon the racial divides that have shaped their Eastern Texas town. But if anyone can navigate these pitfalls and bring the killers to justice, it’s them.

The brand new Hap and Leonard mystery – now an Amazon TV series.
Unlikely detective duo Hap and Leonard’s latest case could expose the corrupt cops of East Texas – if it doesn’t get them killed first.
Jamar Elton supposedly died in a fight with local hoods, but it doesn’t add up. His sister Charm had recently been stalked by a bullying cop. Jamar had set out to gather evidence on him…and found more than he bargained for.
Soon, Hap and Leonard are treading on the toes of just about everyone in the local underworld – cops and criminals alike. But if anyone can navigate these pitfalls and bring the bad guys to justice, it’s them.
