Mladá literární vědkyně Ariel Mantová se ve své výzkumné práci věnuje obskurnímu spisovateli z 19. století Thomasi E. Lumasovi, jehož dílo Konec pana Y obestírá tajemství. Podle legendy každý, kdo si tento zapomenutý román přečetl, zanedlouho zemřel. Kniha je ovšem ztracená. O to víc je Ariel překvapená, když náhodou výtisk objeví v antikvariátě. Vědecký i literární zájem nakonec v racionálně uvažující Ariel zvítězí nad obavami ze smrtonosné kletby. Přitažlivá doktorandka se vydá na napínavou cestu za odhalením tajemství skrytého v knize. Ačkoli musí často jednat na vlastní pěst a riskovat život, v nesnázích ji pomohou její přátelé i kolegové z univerzity.

Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are in for an action-packed adventure when they cross paths with a towering Pentecostal preacher, a midget with a giant attitude, and a gang of bikers turned soldiers of fortune. Even though a midlife crisis just hit Hap Collins like a runaway pickup truck, he's still got his job, he knows his best friend, Leonard Pine, will always be there for him, and of course he's got his main squeeze, Brett Sawyer. Things hit a new low, however, when Brett's daughter, Tillie, who has been walking on the wrong side of the law suddenly stands in need of a rescue. It's won't be easy—it never is—but nothing is going to stop Hap and Leonard as they hit the road destined for Hootie Hoot, Oklahoma to shake things up. And with Hap and Leonard at the wheel this promises to be a wild ride.
