[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31921113-blood-and-lemonade):
|
|
|
|
|
Hap Collins is a complicated man. He looks like a good ‘ol boy, but his
|
|
|
|
|
politics don’t match. After way too many jobs, Hap has discovered what he’s
|
|
|
|
|
best at: kicking ass. Vietnam veteran Leonard Pine is even more complicated:
|
|
|
|
|
black, Republican, gay—and an occasional arsonist. As childhood friends and
|
|
|
|
|
business associates, Hap and Leonard have a gift for the worst kind of
|
|
|
|
|
trouble: East Texan trouble.

Another book that came from a Humble Bundle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's weird that a book about a couple of disfunctional investigators have
|
|
|
|
|
absolutely nothing about investigating stuff. I mean, sure, it's a solo book
|
|
|
|
|
and may fit in the general sense of the series, but for someone coming from
|
|
|
|
|
outside, it's weird that they try to capture readers by something the series
|
|
|
|
|
is not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, the stories are well formed and easy to read and paint a
|
|
|
|
|
long story of the old days in America (which I suppose it's true, 'cause I
|
|
|
|
|
never lived in the United States, much less in that time).
