“*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.
