Author of more than forty novels and thirty short-story collections, Joe R. Lansdale has received numerous literary awards and accolades, including being inducted into the Texas Literary Hall of Fame. He has also had several of his works adapted to television, film, and comic-books. The Elephant of Surprise, is the latest novel in his long-running Hap and Leonard series of novels, novellas, and short-stories. After ten-years of solving crimes side by side, the pair’s dynamic has changed since Hap became a family man. When the two men happen upon a woman who’s nearly had her tongue cut out while East Texas experiences the worst flood it has seen in years, they soon realize that’s only the beginning of the case. The survivor of a mob hit, the girl is still on the boss’s radar, which not only means trouble for Hap and Leonard’s lives, but their friendship too.
