Rendition As Books Comfort to the Enemy and Other Carl Webster Stories (Carl Webster #3)



“The reigning King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times), Elmore Leonard first introduced quick-triggered legendary lawman Carl Webster  in the New York Times bestseller, The Hot Kid, and brought him back for an encore Up in Honey’s Room. In Comfort to the Enemy and Other Carl Webster Stories, the loose cannon U.S. marshal struts his stuff once more in three electrifying new tales. Comfort to the Enemy is more indisputable proof that Elmore Leonard is indeed, as Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Shutter Island) puts it, “The greatest crime writer who ever lived.”

This author was recommended to me after I let slip that I was a huge Raymond Chandler fan (have read all of his books several times). For me there is no comparison. I found this one hard work, confusing and difficult to follow in places. I did finish it but it was a struggle.

The two short stories and novella that comprise this book, all starring US Marshall Carl Webster, have appeared elsewhere before. According to Leonard's site (elmoreleonard.com), "the two [short] stories, 'Louly and Pretty Boy' and 'Showdown at Chechotah' ...appear pretty much verbatim in 'The Hot Kid.' (The bad guy's name is different.)" The novella, "Comfort to the Enemy," was serialized in the New York Times Sunday Magazine in 2005.But that takes nothing away from the stories. They are
