A brand-new Hap and Leonard series collection chock full of Joe R. Lansdale’s inimitable blend of humour, mayhem, and insight, Of Mice and Minestrone delivers never-before-seen stories, a selection of the boys’ favourite recipes, by Kasey Lansdale, and an introduction from New York Times bestselling crime author Kathleen Kent.

Today’s Special: Justice, East Texan-Style

Hap Collins looks like a good ol’ boy. But even in his misspent youth, his best pal is Leonard Pine, who is black, gay, and the ultimate outsider. Inseparable friends, Hap and Leonard climb into the boxing ring, visit their families, get in bar fights, and just go fishing - all the while confronting racists, righting wrongs, and eating a whole lot of delicious food.

So pull up a seat and sit a spell. Master storyteller Joe R. Lansdale - along with Kasey Lansdale’s down-home recipes and Kathleen Kent’s introduction - has cooked up a new passel of tales for you about the unlikeliest duo East Texas has to offer, created by his own self.

‘An absolute treasure trove for Hap and Leonard fans.’ - Ace Atkins, author of The Shameless
