It's December in Molena Point, and while most of the quaint seaside village's felines are dreaming of feathered play toys and stockings filled with catnip, five special cats-Joe Grey, Dulcie, Misto, Kit, and her true love, Pan-are plunged into a nightmarish mystery involving a series of strange events. First, interior decorator Kate Osborne, the beguiling blond divorcee, reappears with a fortune and a strange story about how she got it. Then, there is the terrible car crash on the winding coastal road involving tortoiseshell Kit and her elderly housemates, Lucinda and Pedric Greenlaw. The accident is terrifying enough, but then two mysterious men steal the Greenlaw's car and the secret treasure they carefully hid inside its doors. And there is the old, faded photograph that appears to awaken long-buried memories for Misto, the yellow tomcat. The fur starts to fly when one of the thieves ends up dead. To find the truth, Joe Grey must discover if the strange events are connected-and why. Luckily, Misto and his unfailing memory might provide some answers. But the feline detectives' efforts are nearly derailed when Misto's son, Pan, is struck by a case of wanderlust that drives a sad and angry Kit up a tree. With the investigation in trouble, will the feline detectives solve the mystery ...or will a clever killer leave them chasing their own tails?
From word to word they find their way, Lillian, Tilly, and William J. Like this: They spot some ewes. They use a box. They box some fleas. And flee a steer ...First they see, then they do. The only thing missing? You! Come join the fun. Meow! Michael Hall's inquisitive cats set out to spend the afternoon snacking and reading, but wind up chasing words, including homophones and homonyms, on a silly tongue twister of an adventure!

"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.
