HTML:<b><i>In Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale's newest Hap and Leonard story collection, the boys are back with more righteous ass-kickings, highly improbable adventures, and disastrous fishing trips. These never before collected tales showcase the popular not-so dynamic duo who are little bit older, but not a whole lot wiser—Hap and Leonard were truly born for trouble.<br /> "You could call</i> Born for Trouble <i>a collection of stories. But that's like calling</i> Paradise Lost <i>by Milton a poem.</i> Born for Trouble <i>is a road map through 20th-century crime fiction."<br /> —S.A. Cosby author of</i> Razorblade Tears<i><br /> "[Lansdale] has a folklorist's eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur's sense of pace."<br /></i>—New York Times Book Review</b><br /> When you meet him, Hap Collins seems like just a good ol' boy. But even in his misspent youth, his best pal was Leonard Pine: black, gay, and the ultimate outsider. Together, they have sort of found their way as partners in crime-solving—and at least as often, as hired muscle.<br /> As Hap wrestles with his new identity as a husband and father, and Leonard finds love in a long-term relationship, the boys continue their crime-solving shenanigans. They grapple with a stolen stuffed dog, uncover the sordid secret of a missing bookmobile, compete in a warped version of the Most Dangerous Game, regroup after Hap's visit to the psychologist goes terribly awry, and much more.<br /> So sit yourself back and settle in—<i>Born for the Trouble</i> is East Texas mayhem as only the master mojo storyteller Lansdale could possibly tell.<br /> <strong>About the Hap and Leonard short story series</strong><br /> Hap and Leonard<br /> Hap and Leonard: Blood and Lemonade<br /> The Big Book of Hap and Leonard (digital only)<br /> Of Mice and Minestrone<br /> The classic Hap Collins and Leonard Pine mystery series began in in 1990 with <i>Savage Season</i>.
