USA Geography Challenge discussion

I have been wanting to read a book by Elmore Leonard so when I saw this one was set in Kentucky, I decided to add it for this week's challenge.

"It was Prohibition, and big, hell-raising Son Martin had himself something special: $125,000 worth of Kentucky’s finest home-made whiskey, and no one was going to steal it. Because when it came to shooting, fighting, and outsmarting the Big Boys, Son Martin wasn’t just good. He was bad... dangerous... and deadly."
