Other plots include Hap's destruction of a crack house and a failed love affair between Hap and Florida Grange, a black lawyer. And so he is: During a village carnival, Hap and Leonard catch him before he can spirit away a busload of toddlers for seemingly innocent purposes. Next on Hap and Leonard's trail lies the local reverend, whose edginess in the face of questioning and probable association with the Psalms sheets make him a likely candidate for villainhood. They find Moon's corpse at the bottom of a lake. The trail of the exploration leads them to a close friend of the deceased named Ilium Moon, who might be able to give them some insight into the death of the children. Local police lieutenant Marvin Hanson suggests that Chester murdered the children. When they look further, they find more skeletons. When Leonard, who's black, and his white friend, Hap Collins, begin repairs on the dilapidated house, they find a box beneath the floorboards containing a rotting baby skeleton sandwiched between pages of Psalms and kiddie-porn magazines. Chester Pine has just died, leaving his house and property to the care of his gay nephew, Leonard.
A raunchy tale of perversion and murder with a distinctly East Texan twist.
