Along comes Carl Webster, the hot kid of the Marshals Service. He’s looking for a German officer who escaped from a POW camp in Oklahoma.

But all Carl wants is to get his man without getting shot. It’s Elmore Leonard’s worldgritty, funny, and full of surprises.

Review(s):
Combines everything we love about Leonards works–big guns, morally clueless murderers, sexy dames and handsome lawmen. A masterpiece.
When you read Elmore Leonard, you enter Mr. Leonards world. A trip like that is its own kind of vacation.
Reading UP IN HONEYS ROOM is like dancing with the stars and Elmore Leonards the star.
Bullets fly, but as with most ELmore Leonard novels, things really move when the dialogue gets going. Grade A.
Proof that (Leonard) is at the top of his game.
The dialogue flows as fast and smooth as any words ever uttered in the service of a story.
Elmore Leonard is still at the top of his game.
Its the cast of characters that makes readers keep turning the pages.
Leonards writing–line by line–is as sharp as ever.
With Dashiell Hammett-type wit (Leonard) has once again created characters who live far beyond their storylines.
