From the Edgar Award-winning author of the Hap and Leonard mysteries comes a shocking crime thriller to chill even the warmest summer's night.

Hall (Dexter) Sam Shepard (Black Hawk Down), and Don Johnson (Miami Vice). Richard Dane has killed a man. He cannot unhear the firing of the gun or unsee the blood on his living room wall. But everybody in the small town of LaBorde, Texas knows Dane acted in self defense. Everybody except Ben Russel, the ex-con father of the small-time criminal who invaded Dane's home. When Russel comes looking for revenge against Dane's family, the two are unexpectedly drawn into a conspiracy that conceals the vilest of crimes. Surrounded by police corruption, mafia deception, and underworld brutality, Dane, Russel, and eccentric PI Jim Bob Luke have discovered a game they may not survive.Lansdale is the author of more than a dozen thriller, horror, and Western novels. He has also served as an editor for a number of anthologies. The Horror Writers of America have honored him with the British Fantasy Award, the American Mystery Award, and seven Bram Stoker Awards.
