Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Start with two best friends who practice martial arts in their free time: one a straight white guy, the other a black gay guy. Add a conniving ex-wife in a blue-jean miniskirt. Throw in half a million in a muddy creekbed somewhere near the Sabine River in East Texas. Add an ex-radical from the '60s and two naive idealists who want to save the world. Mix them all together in a half-assed plan, season with double-crosses, and then top it off with a hilarious and chilling drug dealer named Soldier. Bloody mayhem a la Lansdale. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Ingram

When his old flame returns to LaBorde, Texas, with a scam to dredge the local river for half a million in lost hold-up money, Hap Collins finds himself confronted with a killer named Soldier. Reprint. NYT. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lansdale's First Hap & Leonard Book, Mar 23 2004
By Lawrence D. Zeilinger (Gretna, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Savage Season (Paperback)
"Savage Season" kicks off the six-book series featuring Hap Collins and Leonard Pine against the backdrop of rural East Texas. The writing is gritty and very noir and reminisicent of Jim Thompson. Of the other three I have read so far, this one was the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice literary snack, Aug 1 2002
By Craig Clarke (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Savage Season (Paperback)
At less than 200 pages, it does not overstay its welcome. In fact, this was the perfect length for this story. Hap and his friend Leonard (who we are told in no uncertain terms is a gay black man) are asked by Hap's ex-wife Trudy to help her find the money from a bank robbery committed by someone her current husband knew. That's the main plot that this is based on. From then on, however, everything goes wrong.

There are no gray areas here, everyone is either good or bad, and there are some very bad people here. Some of the scenes are particularly gruesome, but Lansdale's writing carries one through. The characterizations save this one from being common-grade pulp. I would probably pursue Hap and Leonard through other adventures. I will most certainly pick up another of Joe Lansdale's novels.
