“The Hot Kid, Carl Webster is back, but this time he is in the Detroit area hunting down a Nazi war criminal. The chemistry between him and Honey is amazing. Leonard gets out of the way and allows his characters to drive the story. Excellent!”

I know he has a team of researchers working for him, so why are there so many speech anachronisms in this...”
