Lansdale’s newest Hap and Leonard story collection, the boys are back with more righteous ass-kickings, highly improbable adventures, and disastrous fishing trips. These never before collected tales showcase the popular not-so dynamic duo who are little bit older, but not a whole lot wiser—Hap and Leonard were truly born for trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“You could call \u003c\/i\u003eBorn for Trouble\u003ci\u003e a collection of stories.

But even in his misspent youth, his best pal was Leonard Pine: black, gay, and the ultimate outsider. Together, they have sort of found their way as partners in crime-solving—and at least as often, as hired muscle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Hap wrestles with his new identity as a husband and father, and Leonard finds love in a long-term relationship, the boys continue their crime-solving shenanigans. They grapple with a stolen stuffed dog, uncover the sordid secret of a missing bookmobile, compete in a warped version of the Most Dangerous Game, regroup after Hap’s visit to the psychologist goes terribly awry, and much more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo sit yourself back and settle in—\u003ci\u003eBorn for the Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e is East Texas mayhem as only the master mojo storyteller Lansdale could possibly tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Hap and Leonard short story series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHap and Leonard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHap and Leonard: Blood and Lemonade\u003cbr\u003eThe Big Book of Hap and Leonard\u003c\/em\u003e (digital only)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf Mice and Minestrone\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe classic Hap Collins and Leonard Pine mystery series began in in 1990 with \u003ci\u003eSavage Season\u003c\/i\u003e.
