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.
