About This Title:
Mucho Mojo
by Joe R. Lansdale
Multi-award winning author, Joe R. Lansdale, is undoubtedly one of the most
exciting and original writers working today. Combining the elements of suspense
and mystery with the Southern Gothic, he has produced a masterpiece of dark
intrigue.
When Hap Collins, a sixties drop-out, a seventies fool, and an eighties wash-out,
is called on by his best friend, war hero Leonard Pine, to help him get through
the funeral of his favorite uncle, Hap and Leonard are led into a series of
events initiated by the discovery of a child's pitiful skeleton wrapped in pornographic
magazines and hidden in a trunk. This one event opens dark doors to the past,
and challenges the very core of their belief systems.
As one horror leads to the next, and the evidence points to Leonard's now dead
uncle as the murderer, Leonard engages his friend Hap to help him prove his
uncle's innocence. Soon, Hap and Leonard realize that they are on the trail
of an insidious murderer, and that their own lives hang in the balance.
What results is a novel of deep friendship, race relations, dark and horrid
passions, and a rousing, nerve-wracking climax.
Wild and unpredictable, laced with black
humor, with a marvelous cast of characters,
Mucho Mojo is a thoroughly absorbing
achievement by a major talent on the
swift track to stardom.
