About The Hot Kid

Meet Carl Webster β€” one of the coolest lawmen ever to draw on a fugitive felon. He shot his first felon when he was fifteen years old, with a Winchester. At 21, he is on his way to becoming the most famous Deputy US Marshal in America. Webster works out of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, federal courthouse during the 1930s, the period of America's most notorious bank robbers: Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson β€” those guys. Now he's on the trail of Jack Belmont. Jack Belmont wants to rob banks, become public enemy number one, and show his dad, an oil millionaire, he can make it on his own. With Tommy guns, hot cars, speakeasies, cops and robbers, and a former lawman who believes in vigilante justice, all played out against the flapper period of gun molls and Prohibition, The Hot Kid is Elmore Leonard at his best.
