Viccy's Reviews > Sugar on the Bones

Hap Collins is happily married to Brett. Leonard Pine is contemplating marriage to Pookie, a cop in LaBorde. Minnie Polson tries to hire the trio to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, Alice, but they are not interested. The next day, Minnie is dead and her house burned to the ground. Hap wakes up one night with the creepy feeling someone is in his and Brett's house. Sitting in the kitchen is Kung Fu Bobbie, a very bad man that Hap did not kill a few years back, so Bobbie feels obligated to tell Hap that he, Leonard and Brett are on a short list of people to be killed by an East Texas very, very bad man. Sure enough, as Brett, Hap and Leonard investigate Minnie's death, they end up running from assassins and watch their good friend getting murdered. They discover Minnie's daughter, Alice is dead, probably murdered by the same group who are kidnapping people and selling their organs. As always, murder and mayhem follow Hap and Leonard. However, both of them are getting older and they are beginning to realize perhaps it is time to hang up their guns and ride peacefully into the sunset. Yeah...I don't think so! Another great entry in the series. Recommended, as always.
