Product Description
<p> The "Hot Kid" of the U.S. Marshals Service, Carl Webster maintains the law with a cool, showdown attitude. He's one of the richest creations in Elmore Leonard's half century of delivering the goods. From his appearances in the critically acclaimed novels <i>The Hot Kid </i>and <i>Up in Honey's Room</i>, Carl returns to lay down the law in a novella that originally appeared as a serial in the <i> New York Times Sunday Magazine</i>. </p> <p> The title novella—plus two Carl Webster short stories—traces Carl's career from his run-in with 1930's gangsters to his investigation of a murder at a German POW camp in Oklahoma. This time it's Carl against war-seasoned Afrika Korps Nazis. With its pitch-perfect dialogue, compelling characters, and classic charm, <i> Comfort to the Enemy</i> is vintage Leonard. </p>
