Description

Carlos Webster was fifteen in the fall of 1921 when he first encountered a nationally known criminal. This encounter would set him on a path that would make him one of the elite manhunters of the U.S. Marshals Service, chasing notorious outlaws like Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd across America's Depression-ravaged heartland. As Carlos, now known as Carl, navigates this world of lawmen and outlaws, he is driven by a desire to be famous for his work. Meanwhile, other characters - including Jack Belmont, Tony Antonelli, and two enigmatic women named Louly and Elodie - have their own ambitions and desires that will lead them into the midst of danger. In this gritty and intense novel, the lines between good and evil are often blurred, and everyone's wishes may not be fulfilled as they expect.
