Carl Webster, the hot kid of the marshals service, is polite, respects his elders, and can shoot a man driving away in an Essex at four hundred yards. Carl works out of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, federal courthouse during the 1930s, the period of America's most notorious bank robbers: Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson -- those guys.</p>
Carl wants to be America's most famous lawman. He shot his first felon when he was fifteen years old. With a Winchester.</p>
Louly Brown loves Carl but wants the world to think she is Pretty Boy Floyd's girlfriend.</p>

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 -- a true master -- at his best.</p>
