Savage Season

I had to buy the first Hap and Leonard book, but that's okay, it was pretty good. Hap's ex-wife, Trudy, shows up and has a too good to be true proposition for Hap. Her current boyfriend, Howard, knows where there's a sunken boat with a million dollars hidden on it, from a bank robbery. He bunked with a guy in prison who was part of the team of robbers, and their getaway boat sank. Trudy and Howard have been trying to find the boat, but haven't had any luck. Trudy thinks Hap can help, since the boat went down in an area Hap knows pretty well from having grown up there. Hap agrees to help out for a cut of the money, but only if he can bring Leonard along, and Trudy reluctantly agrees (there is no love lost between Leonard and Trudy). There was a lot of double-crossing involved, and an epic fight at the end that left Trudy dead (which I knew from reading "Mucho Mojo", but still) and Leonard permanently disabled.
