Pre-Owned Cat Chaser (Paperback) 0688163416 9780688163419

" Cat Chaser is just what one would expect from Elmore Leonard--quirky, peopled with oddball characters...and more twists and turns than a roller coaster." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "A superior example of gritty writing and violent action." -- New York Times There are numerous reasons why Grand Master Elmore Leonard is considered "the coolest, hottest thriller writer in America" ( Chicago Tribune ) and "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" ( New York Times Book Review ). Cat Chaser 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 Justified , Cat Chaser 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.
