The world has
changed around Wyatt Earp since his glory days as a lawman
in the
wide-open towns of the Western frontier. Now in his golden
years, he's
a private detective in Los Angeles�and Kate Elder, the
mistress of his
late partner
Doc Holliday wants him to help turn Doc's errant son away
from the
shady path he's chosen to walk in New York City. And there's
another
good reason for Earp to mount an iron horse headed for the
wild, wild
East: a reunion with his old friend Bat Masterson, who's
traded in his
shooting iron for a sportswriter's pen. But a new
breed of
big city badmen roars in the '20s�organized cold-killers
toting machine
guns in lieu of six-shooters. And in the midst of the Jazz
Age glitter,
two aging, legendary enforcers could be headed for their
final showdown
with a brutal, hot-headed young gangster . . . named Al Capone.

Re: Black Hats
Absolutely fabulous! I would never have picked this one up but I saw it as Fresh Pick and knew other people I trust liked it. Wow, they were so right.
The early part of the 20th century and the type of celebrity created during the time has always fascinated me. And the meeting of the "west" and the gangsters...dynamite! Great Pick! Thanks!
