Comfort to the Enemy (10)

Comfort to the Enemy
Elmore Leonard

This is not a published book, but rather a serial that Leonard wrote for the New York Times. One chapter was published each week over a 14 week period. It is now available from Leondard's web sit.
It is the story of U.S. Marshall Carl Webster as he investigates the death of a POW found hung. The story is pure Leonard, but one of the interesting thing is that we kept foreign POWs on American soil during WWII. This story is set in Oklahoma and Webster has to figure out who is more dangerous the POW that is escaping, or the ones that stay in the camp.
This is the same character as The Hot Kid, and I had thought this was a prequeal, it turns out this story happens after The Hot Kid, so if you are reading them in order do this one second.
