Comfort to the Enemy and Other Carl Webster Stories
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 novelsThe Hot KidandUp in Honey's Room, Carl returns to lay down the law in a novella that originally appeared as a serial in theNew York Times Sunday Magazine.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,Comfort to the Enemyis vintage Leonard.
