Cat Chaser: A Novel

Cat Chaser: A Novel

<p>“<em>Cat Chaser</em> is just what one would expect from Elmore Leonard—quirky, peopled with oddball characters…and more twists and turns than a roller coaster.”<br />—<em>Cleveland Plain Dealer</em></p><p>“A superior example of gritty writing and violent action.” <br />—<em>New York Times </em></p><p>There are numerous reasons why Grand Master Elmore Leonard is considered “the coolest, hottest thriller writer in America” (<em>Chicago Tribune</em>) and “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (<em>New York Times Book Review</em>). <em>Cat Chaser</em> is one of them. A gripping, lightning-paced tale of an ex-soldier-turned Florida motel owner whose dangerous affair with the mistress of a Dominican general in exile—a former death squad leader—threatens to have lethal consequences…especially when drugs, double-cross, and murderous mob thugs are added into the mix. A classic thriller from crime fiction master who first brought us U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, currently of TV’s <em>Justified</em>, <em>Cat Chaser</em> proves once more that when the true greats of mystery and suspense are mentioned—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, et al—Elmore Leonard tops the list.<br /></p>
