Hap Collins asks a colorful, clod-kicking private eye named Jim Bob Luke. "Naw," Jim Bob tells him. "I figure it's kind of an edge. People don't know what you're really thinking. They think you're just a shallow good ole boy." Nobody would ever think that about Collins, who looks like a long-haired '70s dropout and is seriously worried about the quality of his life. With his best buddy Leonard Pine--who aside from being black and gay is extremely tough and nasty in a firefight--Hap goes after the biker who first stole and then killed Pine's boyfriend. Jim Bob also gets involved in the chase, which converges on a corrupt local chili entrepreneur and a totally convincing Texas tornado. Two other Hap Collins books, <i>Mucho Mojo</i> and <i>The Two-Bear Mambo</i>, are available in paperback. 1791019 book 1997 Bad Chili total:206|5:46|4:101|3:53|2:6|1:0| 206 805 266 18 6423678 0307455505 9780307455505 5 2 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255996939m/6423678.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6423678-bad-chili 5 0 false Sat Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 06:46:06 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 21:21:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 102132 2070498549 9782070498543 165 10 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171484489m/102132.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102132.Bad_Chili 4 0 false Mon Mar 23 10:31:25 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 23 10:51:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1792040 089296619X 9780892966196 19 3 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188414483m/1792040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1792040.Bad_Chili 5 0 false Wed Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 18:41:09 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 13:28:58 -0800 2008 more...]]> 102132 2070498549 9782070498543 165 10 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171484489m/102132.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102132.Bad_Chili 4 0 false Mon Apr 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 04:10:35 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 03:52:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1792040 089296619X 9780892966196 19 3 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188414483m/1792040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1792040.Bad_Chili 4 0 false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:02:12 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:04:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 102132 2070498549 9782070498543 165 10 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171484489m/102132.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102132.Bad_Chili 3 0 false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 01:00:45 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 13:40:45 -0700 2009 1 102132 2070498549 9782070498543 165 10 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171484489m/102132.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102132.Bad_Chili 5 0 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Mar 26 19:46:30 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 19:51:04 -0700 2008
While clearly not for the easily offended, the Hap Collins books are fantastic for the rest of us who are too hung over/whored up to go to church on Sunday morning.
