About ebook : Sugar on the Bones
In this holy mess of a case for the "perpetual bad boy" ( New York Times ) sleuths in the beloved Hap and Leonard series, PI Duo Hap and Leonard investigate the untimely death of a woman whose family stood much to gain from her passing.
Minnie Polson is dead. Burned to a crisp in a fire so big and bad it had to be deliberate. The only thing worse is that Hap and Leonard could have prevented it. Maybe. Minnie had a feeling she was being targeted, shaken down by some shadowy force. However, when she'd solicited Hap & Leonard, all it took was one off color joke to turn her sour and she'd called them off the investigation. Wracked with a guilty conscience, the two PIs-along with Hap's fleet-footed wife, Brett-tuck in to the case. As they look closer, they dredge up troublesome facts: for one, Minnie's daughter, Alice, has recently vanished. She'd been hard up after her pet grooming business went under and was in line to collect a whopping insurance sum should anything happen to her mother. The same was due to Minnie's estranged husband, Al, whose kryptonite (beautiful, money-grubbing women) had left him with only a run-down mobile home. But did Minnie's foolish, cash-strapped family really have it in them to commit a crime this grisly? Or is there a larger, far more sinister scheme at work?
Irreverent, wise-cracking, and full of atmosphere and bite, Sugar on the Bones is not to be missed.
