âCat Chaser is just what one would expect from Elmore Leonardâquirky, peopled with oddball charactersâŚand more twists and turns than a roller coaster.â
âCleveland Plain Dealer
âA superior example of gritty writing and violent action.â

There are numerous reasons why Grand Master Elmore Leonard is considered âthe coolest, hottest thriller writer in Americaâ (Chicago Tribune) and âthe greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps everâ (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 exileâa former death squad leaderâthreatens to have lethal consequencesâŚespecially 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 TVâs Justified, Cat Chaser proves once more that when the true greats of mystery and suspense are mentionedâJohn D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, et alâElmore Leonard tops the list.
