The cat dancers

When thugs kill three people in a gas station hold-up and are caught soon after, everyone expects the trial to go quickly and smoothly--but the case is thrown out of court due to a technicality, angering the North Carolina community that the victims called home. The criminals are free to go, but it isn't long before one is killed. Lieutenant Cam Richter of the Manceford County Sheriff's Office suspects vigilantes, and he's soon off to the Great Smoky Mountains in search of them--and in search of the cat dancers of the title, who like to surprise and photograph the last, elusive mountain lions in their dens, risking death by disembowelment.

  • "An ingenious thriller of murder, revenge, and mystery in remote wilderness, by the acclaimed author of The Firefly and Hunting Season When two lowlifes rob a gas station, murder the attendant, and then incinerate bystanders who are filling up their minivan, the Manceford County, North Carolina, police quickly arrest the killers at a nearby motel. But a stubborn judge throws out the case because the suspects were not read their rights, leaving Sheriff Bobby Lee Baggett and Lieutenant Cam Richter to face the anger of the victims' families. Soon thereafter, a mysterious e-mail arrives in the department: a link to a video of one of the murderers being executed in a homemade electric chair, ending with a voice announcing, "That's one." The shocking video spreads throughout the Internet, drawing the attention of local, state, and federal authorities and national media, and putting intense pressure on Bobby Lee and Cam to find the vigilante before he claims his second victim. Assigned to head the search, Cam finds himself resented by some of his fellow officers and subtly threatened by others. His job is further complicated by the fact that the offending judge is also his ex-wife and now--after years apart, and an uneasy reconciliation--his sometime lover. Cam's questions lead him to a remote mountain area in western North Carolina and a group of daredevils who call themselves "the cat dancers"--So named because they have tracked the last wild mountain lions in the region to their dens, where they have photographed the animals face-to-face, or died trying. Cam must hunt this group and the cats they seek, or become their next target."@en
