Mucho Mojo is the basis for the second season of the new Sundance TV series Hap and Leonard.
Hap and Leonard return in this incredible, mad-dash thriller, loaded with crack addicts, a serial killer, and a body count.
Leonard is still nursing the injuries he sustained in the duo's last wild undertaking when he learns that his Uncle Chester has passed. Hap is of course going to be there for his best friend, and when the two are cleaning up Uncle Chester's dilapidated house, they uncover a dark little secret beneath the house's rotting floor boards--a small skeleton buried in a trunk. Hap wants to call the police. Leonard, being a black man in east Texas, persuades him this is not a good idea, and together they set out to clear Chester's name on their own. The only things standing in their way is a houseful of felons, a vicious killer, and possibly themselves.

Hap and Leonard, what more needs to be said? Great story, great characters.
I really like Hap and Leonard. I like the fact that they're not just friends, but honest friends. When they talk, and aren't joking with each other, they speak their minds. The trust is there.What's also there is Leonard's pain at his estranged uncle's death. The man who raised him didn't approve of him, and there's nothing so painful as a relationship that was never fixed. When Leonard finds some dark hints of what his uncle was into, he swears to Hap that it's not like it looks.The story is follows a dark, ugly path, but Hap and Leonard aren't having it. Their story was a good one.Just be prepared for it to unfold at it's own pace.
Great stories and good writing.
Leonard’s uncle as passed on and left his house and belongings to Leonard. The house happen to be located next to a crack house and the two friends make some enemies right out of the gates. Then they find the kiddie porn and something else a bit more disturbing in Leonard’s new house. The boys have some investigating to do in order to clear Uncle Chester’s name. Yes, the guy with child pornography in his house was named Chester. In case you weren’t aware, Leonard is a colored openly gay man, and Hap is a while redneck and they are the best of friends.This was such a fun book, I laughed loudly several times. Mucho Mojo is a perfect action, comedy, social justice book that shows what great friends will do for each other.
I was afraid that I would be reading the same exact story as the television show but it is vastly different and just as good. It is simply a great story.
