{"product_id":"9780316513296","title":"Sugar on the Bones","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn this holy mess of a case for the \"perpetual bad boy\" (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e) 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 \u0026amp; 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?\u003cbr\u003e Irreverent, wise-cracking, and full of atmosphere and bite, \u003ci\u003eSugar on the Bones\u003c\/i\u003e is not to be missed.
