"Carl Webster, the hot

most notorious bank robbers: Dillinger, Baby Face
Nelson - those guys." "Carl wants to be America's most famous lawman.
He shot his first felon when he was fifteen years old. With a Winchester."
"Louly Brown loves Carl but wants the world to
think she is Pretty Boy Floyd's girlfriend." "Tony Antonelli of True Detective magazine wants to write like

wasn't a whore. She and Heidi and the girls work at Teddy's in Kansas City,
where anything goes and the girls wear - what else - teddies." Jack
Belmont wants to rob banks, become public enemy number one, and show his dad,
an oil millionaire, he can make it on his own.
