A Bone Dead Sadness

Marvin Hanson is a private investigator. Time was he worked homicide in Houstonâ€™s Fifth Ward, but that was years ago. Nowadays heâ€™s living a quieter life, running a little one-man operation in LaBorde, Texas. You might think a sleepy East Texas town wouldnâ€™t rate its own PI, but thereâ€™s just about enough to keep Hanson going. Lawyers need things looked into; suspicious wives need their husbands tailed, and vice versa; ordinary folks get interested in things the cops donâ€™t care to pursue. Today, itâ€™s a missing persons case.

Mildred â€œBabeâ€ Craverâ€™s not long for this earth, but she wants Hanson to find her son Tom, or find out what happened to him. He was a good-for-nothing jailbird, but he was her son after all. Problem is, Tomâ€™s been missing for twenty-five years, so itâ€™s a stone cold trail. Whatever Hanson finds out, itâ€™s not likely to make anyone happy. Still, thereâ€™s something to be said for knowing.

This 2012 novella revisits Marvin Hanson, decades after the events of Act of Love; fans of Lansdaleâ€™s Hap and Leonard series have also encountered him as the boysâ€™ sometime-employer. At its core, A Bone Dead Sadness is a good old-fashioned locked room mystery, wrapped up in noir and tied with a Dixie-scented bow. Itâ€™s Lansdale.
