Glenn Helka's business has never been what you'd call lucrative. But chasing bond jumpers and following cheating spouses pays the bills. Most of the bills. Some of the time. Occasionally. When a woman drops a fat stack of cash on his desk to bring her wayward son home from Mexico, Glenn thinks he has it made. One tiny detail-the son is dead, and the local authorities are refusing to release his body. Was it the money or the haunting look on the face of the bereaved mother? Maybe it was Glenn's barely functioning moral compass finally pointing true north. Or, in this case, south to Mexico where he takes on corrupt government officials, drug-dealing hitmen, and everything the desert can throw at him.Fans of Joe R. Lansdale's Hap & Leonard series won't want to miss Mexicanos Hustle, Southern Noir at its finest.
