McLean, author of <em>The Good Son</em><br><br>“The reigning King Daddy of crime writers” (<em>Seattle Times</em>), Elmore Leonard first introduced quick-triggered legendary lawman Carl Webster in the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller, <em>The Hot Kid, </em>and brought him back for an encore <em>Up in Honey’s Room</em>.
