Hap and Leonard #8
Devil Red
Hap Collins and Leonard Pine return in a red-hot, mayhem-fueled thriller to face a vampire cult, the Dixie Mafia, and the deadliest assassin they’ve ever encountered—Devil Red.
When their friend Marvin asks Hap and Leonard to look into a cold-case double homicide, they’re more than happy to play private investigators: they like trouble, and they especially like getting paid to find it. It turns out that both of the victims were set to inherit serious money, and one of them ran with a vampire cult. The more closely Hap and Leonard look over the crime-scene photos, the more they see, including the image of a red devil’s head painted on a tree. A little research turns up a slew of murders with that same fiendish signature. And if that’s not enough, Leonard has taken to wearing a deerstalker cap . . . Will this be the case that finally sends Hap over the edge?
Full up with Lansdale’s trademark—whip-smart dialogue, relentless pacing, and unorthodox-to-say-the-least characters—Devil Red is one rambunctious thrill ride by one hell of a writer.

“They might have been all-right people doing the best they could, but I got to tell you, you got a dead cat lying in your yard you ought to bury it. That’s my motto.”
Hap Collins is, without a doubt, too soft hearted to be in as much rumble trumble trouble as he finds himself most of the time, but he is often bailed out by his best friend, Leonard Pine. It isn’t that Leonard doesn’t care to the same degree as Hap, but his stint in Vietnam tempered a lot of what he feels into smaller boxes. He is a pragmatic person who doesn’t expect the world to be all Dr. Pepper and vanilla wafers, but he doesn’t shy away from countering violence with his own special brand of ferocity. He likes balancing the scales even if in the process he might be just a wee bit outside the law.
They are both tough guys. Men you wouldn’t want to mess with, but unfortunately people frequently do. They always seem to find themselves in circumstances that put them between people who can’t defend themselves and those that prey on the weak. A comparison could be made with the Robert B. Parker duo of Spencer and Hawk, but except for the toughness and the fact that one is white and one is black, the comparison ends. Hap is too often a hapless, white heterosexual, and Leonard tends to be a frequently frustrated, black homosexual. They are both committed to their preferences, and neither could ever see themselves hitting from the other side of plate.
They are unlikely people to be best friends.
There needs to be a word beyond best friends. One of the reasons I continue to read this series is for the humor inspired by this strange pairing, but also for the complete devotion they have to one another. People refer to Hap as a redneck, but I have to differ with them on that. Except for the fact that he is poor, uneducated in the college sense, and is well acquainted with firearms, he doesn’t really fit my definition of redneck. He reads almost every chance he gets. He has depth in how he sees the world. Does it make him a redneck that he doesn’t drive a Mercedes or live in a townhouse or have a job on Wall Street that allows him to screw people over all day? He is a man who is trying to live a life filled with simple pleasures. He has a gorgeous, redheaded girlfriend named Brett who works as a nurse, which believe me comes in handy more than he would like. He has a roof over his head, a pickup that starts most of the time, plenty to eat, and Leonard.
If only people would quit trying to kill him, he’d be a very happy Hap.
An elderly woman is beat up, and $88 is stolen from her. This is just one of those things that Hap and Leonard cannot let go. They find the guys, kick their ass, extract $100 from a wallet bulging with cash, and return the money plus interest to the victim. They don’t take anything for themselves. This is how they see that a community should work. Sometimes the police are handcuffed by the law even when they know the truth. Leonard and Hap can forget the law and focus on nothing but the truth.
For Leonard, the facts are simple: bad men have to be taught a lesson, and he has the skills to provide the lesson. For Hap, it is more complicated. Though he is tough and capable enough to meet violence with more violence, he is starting to think that he is part of the problem instead of part of the solution. The complications with having doubts is that Leonard tends to wade into more trouble than he can handle, and given the fact that Hap sees Leonard as more than a friend, more like a brother, he can’t step away from the violence that swirls around Leonard like a tornado... but having doubts will get you killed.
If you can’t pull the trigger, then you have no business raising the gun.
I would call Marvin their boss, but given the fact that there are no health benefits or 401k involved in their relationship, at most this is an independent alliance that sometimes works to the satisfaction of all involved. Marvin has them working on a cold case involving a double homicide. The circumstances are strange to say the least. ”Me and Leonard got to hear some neat stuff about vampires, devil heads, a dog-eaten body, and a white trash winning the lottery and getting hit by a train. Oh, and a bunch of cats inherited the lottery money.” I know it sounds really confusing, but somehow Joe Lansdale is going to make it all make sense.
As they start to investigate, more deaths occur, all bearing the red devil’s head mark. The killer is not only cold blooded, but egotistical as well. He signs his bloody work with pride like he has composed a Picasso or Matisse.
”There is something about this whole thing still bothers me. It’s like an animal called Not Quite Right crawled up my ass and is wiggling around.”
As if things weren’t bad enough, a nightmare from the past shows up. Vanilla Ride. She is a heartless assassin whom Hap and Leonard had the displeasure to meet in the book previous to this one. ”I couldn’t help but note she was breathtakingly beautiful---an evil wet dream with vanilla creme skin, sea blue eyes, and bloodred lipstick.”
She makes Hap all tingly and nauseous at the same time.
Needless to say things go from bad to worse, and Hap finds himself allied with a temptress while trying to exact revenge on a stone cold killer. Not ideal circumstances, but not an untypical situation for Hap to find himself mired in.
The Sundance channel has started airing a new series called Hap and Leonard. James Purefoy and Michael K. Williams are excellent casting as Hap and Leonard. They deliver the audacious humor that permeates the books pitch perfect. In the first episode, va-va voom Christina Hendricks defies the laws of physics with curves so round that a Bugatti Super Sport would crash and burn on the first turn. Needless to say, it will be must see TV for this fan every week on Wednesday night.
I save Hap and Leonard for when I need a fast, wicked, and humorous bit of escapism. They always make me chuckle and cringe. I’d call this East Texas Noir, but it is really Lansdale Noir, and those that have read his other books will know what I’m talking about. He is a designated subgroup all to himself. I’d suggest reading the books in order, so begin with Savage Season. This series is best read with a big bowl of hot chili and a bag full of vanilla wafers.

While working with their detective friend Marvin Hanson, Hap and Leonard are tasked with solving a cold-case, a double homicide involving a rich woman's son and his vampire-ish girlfriend. The trail leads them up against a deadly hit man they dub Devil Red. Can Hap and Leonard, in all his deerstalker-wearing finery, find Devil Red before they become his next victims?
Hap and Leonard are so bad ass their bad ass has to wear a suit and tie. Sorry, inside joke. In Devil Red, Lansdale dusts off Hap and Leonard and turns them loose going 100 MPH. I devoured this book in one sitting. As usual, there is a ton of dark humor, sex, and a dump truck full of violence. As usual, the tension mounts until the big shoot out at the end. I had an inkling of who was behind Devil Red but it seemed so absurd that I discounted it.
As always, Hap and Leonard were in fine form. Marvin Hanson continues to be one of the more memorable members of the supporting cast. Cason seemed like Lansdale was grooming him to be a recurring supporting character. The running gag with Leonard wearing the deerstalker cap was my favorite part of the story.
So why only a four? It was too damn short, just over 200 pages. I felt like I was just getting into it and then it was over. All things considered, it was a worthwhile addition to the Hap and Leonard canon. If you liked the others, you'll like this one.

Hap and Leonard. Righting wrongs with baseball bats. It ain't pretty, but it gets the job done. Furthering the ugliness, Leonard has glommed onto a deerstalker hat. You know, the style Sherlock Holmes affected, but with the earflaps hanging down. Leonard just loves wearing that hat. It's going to provide some high hilarity down there in East Texas. Don't wear that sh*t into a bar, or you're liable to garner a whole lot more than a collective stink eye from the patrons.
This cracked me up. Have you ever encountered this server? '...a thin waitress who looked as if it would be all right with her if everyone who ever wanted to eat in a restaurant was dead...'

Take a middle-aged redneck in East Texas with a mouthy gay black best friend, give them both an unerring instinct for irritating the living hell out of dangerous people and putting themselves in shitty situations, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. And a highly entertaining crime series.
Hap and Leonard have started working part time for their friend Hanson’s detective agency, but Hap is brooding even more than usual about the violence that they always seem to attract. Hanson gets a new case with a rich woman wanting them to look into her son’s murder. The son had a crazy girlfriend that was killed with him, and she was mixed up with a cult of weirdos pretending to be vampires and was also the recipient of a large inheritance. When the guys starting looking into it, they accidentally pick up on a pattern that indicates they’ve found the trail of a vicious hired killer they name Devil Red.
It’s good to have Lansdale doing Hap and Leonard novels again. They guys are still their entertaining selves, and Lansdale has given them another brutal case to get through. As always, the dialogue is politically incorrect, profane, and completely hilarious. There’s a running joke in this one about Leonard wearing a Sherlock Holmes style deerstalker hat that made me laugh repeatedly.
However, this was only 205 pages and seemed even shorter than that. The story didn’t just seem quick, it seemed chopped off. Lansdale books generally don't have any fat on them, and he’s delivered a lot of entertaining short novels, but frankly, I felt a bit ripped off for buying this one in hardback. It’s still a lot of fun, but I would have liked another 50 pages or so of making fun of Leonard’s hat.
I’d also recommend that anyone interested in this one read the previous book Vanilla Ride first because some of the events and characters from that one come back up here.

Initial Thoughts
In case you been hiding under a rock, you should know I'm a huge fan of Joe Lansdale's sen-f'in-sational Hap and Leonard series. I tore through the first seven books in this series like a wolverine with rabbies. There's nothing quite like the finest redneck noir money can buy. I'm absolutely addicted to the stuff and proud to admit that.
But I'd decided to read nothing but horror during the month of October. That meant no Hap and Leonard for me. I barely made it out alive struggling with the severe depression of not being with these two for so long and I had a severe itch that only Champion Joe could scratch. That obviously comes across a lot more sordid than I meant.
For those of you that are new to this series, Jesus H Christ what is wrong with you? Sort yourself out and get on board. But just so you know a little bit about Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, they are a pair that shouldn't work in any sense of the imagination. Different race, politics and sexual orientation. But their chemistry and camaraderie is amazing and the absolute cornerstones of this fantastic series as they land themselves in one scrape after another. Always trying to do the morally, if not legally, right thing.
The Story
This one kicks off with the duo doing what they do best. Helping those less fortunate around them and laying the smack down on those reprehensible villains. When an old lady is in need Hap and Leonard are more than happy to dish out a bit of eye for an eye style retribution.
Straight after their buddy and ex-cop Marvin Hanson is in need of some assistance with a cold case involving the double homicide of a young man and his girlfriend. Marv's client thinks there's more to it than meets the eye and the pair are more than happy to help uncover the truth.
There's a lot of twists and turns in this one beginning with a red devil symbol that was left at the scene of the crime. It soon transpires the same logo had appeared at the location of a number of other unsolved murders and there may be a serial killer on the loose. The plot thickens!
The Writing
I don't have to spend too long on the writing as I've went on at length in my other reviews about how great it is. It's a simple
style that should not he underestimated. He's efficient with his prose but still injects a lot of humour and heart. The dialogue in particular is razor sharp with some fantastic one liners.
It's fast paced, with some great action scenes and it all flows fantastically. Lansdale really is a natural born storyteller that has me laughing my man-boobs off one minute and then nearly having a cardiac arrest the next. Great stuff!
The Characters
Exactly the same thing with the characters, check my previous reviews for how great they are. But if you can't be bothered then rest assured they are awesome. Particularly with Hap and Leonard, they really do feel like your best friends when you get to this stage in the series.
What's special with this book is that Lansdale puts them through the most extreme trauma so far. Some physical, some mental. We'll get to see how they cope when they're forced apart and left to contemplate the life of extreme violence they regularly find themselves in.
There's definitely a more serious tone in Devil Red, but do not fear as the trademark humour that these two possess is ever present. The pair never miss a chance to poke fun at the other, wether it's Hap's overly sensitive nature or Leonard's new hat! Despite going through some dark times they're always entertaining and so real to me now I count them among my best friends. Yes, I really am that sad!
Final Thoughts
Devil Red is a fantastic entry in the series, but at this point the bar is set and it is high. This one certainly doesn't reach those lofty peaks but is a solid entry and highly enjoyable entry nonetheless. I think the main issue is that it feels like a direct sequel to the last entry Vanilla Rideas oppose to a self contained story. So I'd definitely read that one first.
The finale of this book was excellent and the stakes have never been higher. It was very much a house of cards around Hap and Leonard that was just waiting for that little push before it came tumbling down.This is despite it feeling a little bit rushed. It was an absolute blast as always.
I kept thinking how great this one would come across on the big screen. Honestly, shame on Hollywood for cancelling the TV series because the material here is absolute gold.
I'll finish by saying it takes a special talent to make reading as much fun as this and Joe Lansdale is a natural. If you're a fan already I'd be very surprised if you don't like this. In fact I'd put money on it. How much do you want to bet?
What's that? You don't gamble? Oh well, we'll leave it there then. Thanks for reading and...cheers!

Joe Lansdale is arguably the best writer alive - in any genre. I've been a huge fan of his Hap & Leonard series for years, and this is possibly the best one yet.
February 15, 2024
3 stars
short review for busy readers: almost like a continuation of book #7 Vanilla Ride as the same characters tangle with our boys and scores from that book are settled. The mystery is interesting but gets kind of absurd at the end. Banter is still funny, writing terrific. Medium body count. Fast read. Enjoyable but not super.
in detail
Hap Collins killed his first human (on purpose vs in self defense) in Captains Outrageous and went on an absolute spree in Vanilla Ride. Now all the killing and corpses have caught up with him and he's not doing so hot in the PTSD department.
That's rather bad timing, as Marvin Hanson of Hanson Investigations sends our boys out to look into a cold case double murder the cops got nowhere with. Little does anybody know, that murder was committed by Devil Red, which are some very very bad, and very very dangerous, people indeed. And if there's one thing Devil Red doesn't like, it's people asking questions about their work.
Much of the cold case backstory seems a bit ridiculous (and not Lansdale ridiculous, just silly), but it all connects up with the Dixie Mafia goings on in No Enterprise, TX and to hired killer extraordinaire, Vanilla Ride. (Her real name, apparently)
That's the most fun part, seeing how the story line from the previous novel is tied up, but the very end is rather a let down. I personally like Vanilla, but if Lansdale isn't careful, she could become a type of deus ex machina character who miraculously appears to get our boys out of tight scrapes. I hope that doesn't happen, but it is a danger for future books.
The banter isn't quite as lively in this one, but the writing is still great and it's an enjoyable, if not completely full-fledged, addition to the series.

Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are fresh off of kicking the crap out of a couple of thugs who stole $87.00 from a defenseless old woman when their some-time employer, Marvin Hanson, asks them to assist in an investigation. A young man and woman have been brutally murdered. The police have written off the case as an unsolved robbery gone bad, but the young man's mother refuses to accept that explanation. Not surprisingly, she wants justice.
Hap and Leonard are never ones to back away from a challenge, and they discover that the young woman who was killed with the client's son, had a pretty hinky lifestyle, including forays into a vampire cult.
As they begin to probe more deeply, they begin to see a pattern between these and several other killings and they sense that lurking behind them all is a fearsome killer named Devil Red. Their search will inevitably antagonize a lot of the wrong people, including the aforementioned Devil Red and pretty soon the bullets will be flying.
As is usually the case in these books, the humor is front and center as well. Hap and Leonard are, to say the least, a couple of colorful characters, even for East Texas. Fans of the series will take this book to heart.

As is usually the case in these books, the humor is front and center as well. Hap and Leonard are, to say the least, a couple of colorful characters, even for East Texas. Fans of the series will take this book to heart.

I'm not surprised, another incredible Hap & Leonard adventure. This one starts off strong and goes full throttle till the end. May be the darkest of the series so far, yet still funny as fuck at times. If this isn't the best in this series of incredible books, it's close.

Another great book in Joe R. Lansdale's series about Hap and Leonard, the mystery world's most unlikely couple. Hap, a white straight liberal who wonders why people just can't get along and Leonard, a black gay Vietnam veteran who votes Republican and equates right and wrong with beating the crap out of bad guys. If you want to know what Devil Red is about, read the official description above. Anything else would be a spoiler. So instead of a critique, here are my four favorite Hap and Leonard quotes from Devil Red. Please note that none of these are spoilers and there are ten great lines to every one listed here...
1: HAP (about a bad part of town): It was the kind of place where even the mice belonged to gangs.
2. LEONARD: We're so mean, our mean wears a hat and tie.
3. HAP: Do not try to clean bird shit off a windshield by using the wipers. It doesn't work. Cursing does not clean it either.
4. LEONARD: There's something about this whole thing still bothers me. It's like an animal called Not Quite Right crawled up my ass and is wiggling around.
HAP: I thought you enjoyed that sort of thing.
LEONARD: Wrong kind of animal.
OK. That's it. go away.

Lansdale has been called the bard of East Texas, and there is a poetic anarchy to his storytelling. Though it's an energetic poetry, sort of slam poet mixed with swamp noir, more than any languid verse from old British schooling. His distinctive storytelling style has seen Lansdale scoop up more than a dozen awards, including the prestigious Edgar Award for crime writing. Several of his tales have been adapted for film and television, including his quirky and riveting Hap and Leonard series.
DEVIL RED is the eighth in that series, and is another short jab to the ribs of a book; slim but potent. The unlikely duo - Hap looks like a good ole boy but was once a conscientious objector who’s now pretty darned handy with his fists, Leonard is a black, conservative, gay Army veteran - are once again dropped into a whole lot of trouble, and it's a heck of a fun read to see how they respond.
While some of the dust-ups and deadly scrapes will be familiar to long-time readers of the series, there's still a sense of freshness and evolution in this eighth instalment. Hap is struggling after being previously shot, and questioning himself and what he's capable of. His relationship with Brett is deepening, while his forever-pal Leonard is wondering if his own relationship is at an end (his boyfriend having been sent off for 'conversion therapy' by his family, trying to 'straighten' him out).
This is a heck of a fun read. I tore through it in less than a day, and found myself continually grabbing for it whenever I had a moment during a full schedule. There's just something a little different about Lansdale's storytelling, a vibrancy and freshness and quirkiness that makes it oh-so-compelling. Hap and Leonard's escapades go to all sorts of dark and violent places, but there's humour and fun and light-heartedness too. The friendship between the unlikely pair feels wholly authentic, as does the way all the characters relate to each other. It's a largely blue-collar world, gritty and real.
Lansdale keeps a grin on readers faces both with the adventure-filled story and little turns of phrases here and there. Hap is a fascinating narrator, and the dialogue sparks with everyday wit and vernacular. This is roll up your sleeves crime fiction. Dig in.

4.5/5, rounded down.
Much like the previous instalment in the Hap & Leonard series, Devil Red feels a bit more action oriented, and a little darker in themes and events, as well. Not that the rest of the books leading up to this have been all lightness and joy, but things are just taking a psychological and physical toll on our boys to a new level. Despite the somewhat darker tone, the wildly amusing banter between our good pals has not slowed down, and I was especially tickled by Leonard's hat in this volume. I'm not sure I loved the reveal of who Devil Red was here, as it strained credulity a little, even in a series that's gotten as absurdist as this one has at times, but the action and character work saw me through.

Hap and Leonard are doing a bit of side work as private detectives for Martin when he needs a hand. A woman had her son and his girlfriend killed on a hiking trail, and the leads have gone cold. What seems straightforward is anything but and leads the boys on the trail of a serial killer who leaves a certain calling card. They are in the thick of it this time, and maybe one of them won't survive to tell the tale.
This is great just like all the books in the series, Leonard wears a stupid hat most of the book which creates plenty of laughs as everyone gives him shit about it and an old character from a previous book returns as well which was a pleasant surprise.

Another rousing Hap and Leonard yarn. Marvin Hanson, Hap and Leonard's ex-cop friend has started his own private investigation firm. The boys are drawn into a cold case by Marvin that involves a rich woman's son and a double homicide. Her son's girlfriend who was also killed in the homicide, also happened to believe she was a vampire and was involved with a cult of vampire wannabes. The trail leads Hap and Leonard to a deadly hit man who they name "Devil Red" because he leaves a drawing of a devil's head next to his victims. So can Hap and Leonard find Devil Red and solve the cold case before Devil Red makes victims of them?
As usual, this was full of dark humor and tons of violence. And as a bonus, Leonard starts to wear a deerstalker hat because he is working as a detective in the Sherlock Holmes mode. Of course, Hap and everyone else think the hat looks ridiculous on him but it does look quite appealing on Hap's girlfriend, Brett. This novel moved along at a fast clip -- I read it in two sittings -- and it made me want more. The story featured the usual cast of characters and also had a guest appearance from the previous novel in the series, Vanilla Ride. Overall, another high recommendation for this series.

Good, As Usual
Another episode of my favorite duo attempting to right the wrongs done to good people by the evil spawn of society. Mission accomplished with extreme prejudice along with a liberal dose of Hap & Leonard's off brand humor. I love reading about the exploits of these guys.
Buy it, read it and enjoy!!👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥

Era da tempo che non leggevo Lansdale e avevo dimenticato il potere rilassante di un po' di sano splutter :)
Interessante la trama, per il resto un ottimo libro da viaggio che fa passare velocemente il tempo.

Hap and Leonard are back and they are actually working as operatives under the direction of Marvin Harmon and his new P.I. office. Marvin has them recover $87 stolen from an elderly woman which is right up their alley as it involves kicking ass and ignoring names. When they start working on a cold-case homicide it may be out of their league, even though Leonard has started wearing a deerstalker hat as part of his new position (or maybe just to irritate Hap).
The case ultimately leads to a vampire cult, another meeting with the Dixie Mafia, and the return of an old adversary who may be a bit more friendly this time.
I'm a big fan of Lansdale in general and Hap and Leonard in particular. But this is unquestionably the weakest entry in the series so far. The interplay between Hap and Leonard just isn't quite as fun. The plot goes too far afield of where the boys really belong. None of it just feels quite right. And the the return of the adversary/ally just didn't work for me at all. Which is not to say the book isn't readable. It's certainly okay. But it's just not up to par.

Wow, my favorite since Bad Chili. This one had it all - the humor, the heart, and the hair-raising adventure.

A pair of well-meaning thugs help a private detective investigate an old murder case.
I found this book hugely entertaining - the characters and dialogue were all razor sharp. The plot was a bit wobbly in places but it still had plenty of plot twists and turns.

This is about my 6th Hap and Leonard book and I've loved them all. This one was somewhat incomprehensible with so many characters and so little intrigue. BUT -- whatever Lansdale writes, I'm there. This was great -- Hap has a psychotic break and Leonard...…..well, you have to read it so I don't let loose with a spoiler. And Vanilla makes another appearance. This all started over $87, which Hap/Leonard get back for its rightful owner. Somehow, everything escalates after that and the boys manage to antagonize every criminal and badass not locked up. Brett has her own troubles with her wayward daughter, but she is there for "the boys" in spirit if not in body. On to the next one......

Un miglioramento rispetto al precedente (Vanilla Ride) si è sentito.
Hap e Leonard sono meno macchine da guerra, il tempo che passa pesa e le crisi esistenziali di Hap sono sempre più grosse, la corte dei miracoli è ridotta a Brett e Marvin, utili alla storia ma non parte della solita armata Brancaleone.
La trama sembra virare su toni occulti, ma si finisce con la solita orgia di sangue anche se non in relazione con i vampiri della quarta di copertina.
Gli scambi di battute sono quelli, a mio parere, più penalizzati. Come se la verve iniziale si stesse appannando.

The eighth novel featuring working class misadventurers Hap Collins and Leonard Pine. The East Texas duo, who can be as dangerous as they come if that is what’s needed, this time get in over their heads with their eyes open by agreeing to do some investigating for an old friend who’s opened a P.I. business. Weirdness and violence ensue, a Lansdale trademark. The title refers to a professional assassin, and as soon as that revelation dropped, I knew we would soon be seeing Vanilla Ride, the assassin we’d met in the previous book. She was a fascinating character; no way Lansdale could resist exploring her more deeply. I’d have been disappointed otherwise. Lansdale seldom disappoints.

I got an advance copy of this in the mail, started reading it on the subway ride home, and apart from getting off the train and walking home, I pretty much had to read it straight through. It's so awesome its awesome wears a hat and tie. Like most Hap and Leonard novels, it's pretty much a crime novel without any detectives, and though it starts to get a bit implausible towards the final chapters, it always feels right and true to its characters.

What the heck happened? I'm having a hard time believing Joe wrote this book. It reads like a high school kid read a Hap and Leonard and said "I can do this!" I'm usually rolling at Hap and Leonard's conversations. Here, I'm saying "Shut up!" Characters are antagonistic just so Hap or Leonard can knock them down with their rapier wit. Joe must have had a bill to pay -- I don't think his heart was in this one. NOT recommended.

A kickass addition to the Hap & Leonard series. The first 100 pages were the usual bs -- Hap & Leonard insult each other, make rude remarks, talk trash, eat vanilla cookies, whup some minor bad guys, and a mystery is presented....nothing new. Leonard even gets a deerstalker cap which looks really bad on him. All hell breaks loose halfway through and I couldn't put it down. Good stuff.....as always.

Action packed adventure wherein Hap and Leonard bite off more than they can chew when they investigate a vampire cult and cross paths with an even more dangerous assassin than Vanilla Ride. Devil Red murders brutally and leaves a Devil's head drawn with the victim's own blood. Highly recommended.

Always a pleasure, though the body count felt even more improbably high than usual. That's not really a complaint though.

"Devil Red"...which must have seemed a more compelling title than "Red Devil" (which would have made more sense)...is the eighth in the "Hap and Leonard" series by Joe R. Lansdale.
If you're not familiar with Hap and Leonard, they are two best pals in East Texas in the late 80's and into the 90's who think of themselves as brothers. The fact that one is a gay black Republican Vietnam vet and the other a white liberal hetero ex-hippie doesn't seem to matter. They are both good ol' boys well into their 40s who live a rough and tumble life, kicking ass and forgetting names. But always for a good cause.
If you'd like, read my previous review--for "Vanilla Ride"--to see how I break down the formula/pattern for the Hap and Leonard experience. "Devil Red" is a bit different from the usual. I think "Vanilla Ride" was the first of the "new era" of Hap and Leonard novels that are more polished and sophisticated (and more interesting overall) than the six previous novels.
Hap and Leonard are now operatives for their friend--former police detective turned private investigator--Marvin Hanson. Marvin is still feeling the physical effects of a long-term coma, so he has Hap and Leonard as his two "leg men." But the work they usually do is of the "settling someone's hash" variety. They are not particularly wise or patient or savvy, but they rattle people's cages well--and hash gets settled should the bad folks escape said cages.
While investigating a cold case for a client of Marvin's, Hap and Leonard stumble into a much larger web of intrigue involving murder for hire (or is it revenge?) where a red devil symbol was left to indicate the killer's involvement. Eventually, the heroes decide to name the killer Devil Red and set about looking for him. But Devil Red does not like anyone prying into his affairs. Things get bloody after that.
Some of the loose ends from the previous novel, "Vanilla Ride," are tied up here. Including an appearance by Vanilla Ride herself. When it comes to the world of murder-for-hire, she's a well-connected source.
One problem I had with this book is that Vanilla Ride professes that she is infatuated with Hap. I know I am a man in his 40's ready and willing to make a fool of myself over a pretty blond in her 20's (and I did so last summer...totally worth it), sociopath or not.
Yet it's hard to see why someone like her would be into someone like Hap. As far as I can tell, her attraction is a good way to get her back into the story, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense that one of the world's top assassins--who is also a beautiful woman in her 20s--would be attracted to a tumble-down ass-kicker in his 40s like Hap. It strains that whole "suspension of disbelief" thing. And the fact that Hap pretty much turns her down flat is also hard to believe, mostly.
My "lived" experience was similar. A beautiful 20 year old woman was attracted to me, and I'm very few people's idea of handsome. It didn't last long, but it was a hell of a lot of fun while it did. Unlike Hap, I was ready to pursue my "Vanilla Ride," even though I had a "Brett" of my own in my life (she's married, just not to me). But I'm not Hap.
The other problem I had with "Devil Red" was that this book, and a couple other of the Hap and Leonard books, is 80-90% set-up and only 10% action. The confrontation with Devil Red, which is a fairly large set-piece, is only the last sliver of the story. There is plenty of action, but most of it comes all at once at the end. It just felt unbalanced to me.
Yet I also really enjoyed most of "Devil Red," despite any concerns about balance or convenient plotting. And if you're a Hap and Leonard fan, it's definitely worth reading.
