<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Carl Webster, the gunslinging U.S. Marshal from "The Hot Kid" and "Up in Honey's Room," serves as the centerpiece of two stories and one novella, in this never-before-published-in-the-U.S. collection from the inimitable Elmore Leonard.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"An excellent read....Concrete evidence of a master crime writer still at the top of his game."<br />--Russel D. McLean, author of <em>The Good Son</em><br /><br />"The reigning King Daddy of crime writers" (<em>Seattle Times</em>), Elmore Leonard first introduced quick-triggered legendary lawman Carl Webster in the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller, <em>The Hot Kid, </em>and brought him back for an encore <em>Up in Honey's Room</em>. In <em>Comfort to the Enemy and Other Carl Webster Stories, </em> the loose cannon U.S. marshal struts his stuff once more in three electrifying new tales. <em>Comfort to the Enemy </em>is more<em> </em>indisputable proof that Elmore Leonard is indeed, as Dennis Lehane (<em>Mystic River, Shutter Island</em>) puts it, "The greatest crime writer who ever lived."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><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 <em>The Hot Kid </em>and <em>Up in Honey's Room</em>, Carl returns to lay down the law in a novella that originally appeared as a serial in the <em> New York Times Sunday Magazine</em>.</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, <em> Comfort to the Enemy</em> is vintage Leonard.</p>
