DEAD AIM by Joe R. Lansdale, Dust jacket by Glen Orbik. Burton, Mi; Subterranean Press; 2013. 1st trade hardcover edition. OUT OF PRINT. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE. ISBN: 978-1-59606-524-6. Length: 104 pages. Dead Aim marks the always welcome return of Joe R. Lansdale's most enduring fictional creations: Hap Collins and Leonard Pine. The result is a spare, beautifully crafted novella in which Lansdale's unique voice and inimitable narrative gifts are on full--and generous--display. The story begins simply enough when the two agree to provide protection for a woman harassed by her violent, soon-to-be-ex husband. But, as readers of this series will already know, events in the lives of Hap and Leonard rarely stay simple for long. When a protracted stakeout ends in a lethal shooting and a pair of moldering corpses turn up in an otherwise deserted trailer, the nature of this "routine" assignment changes dramatically. The ensuing investigation unearths a complex web of lies, duplicity, and hidden agendas that leads from an upscale Texas law firm to the world of organized crime, culminating in the kind of explosive, anything-can-happen confrontation that only Joe Lansdale could create. Violent, profane, and often raucously funny, Dead Aim is a tautly written, hugely entertaining thriller and a triumph of the storyteller's art.
