He used to be on the bomb squad, but it's not until he transfers out that Chris Mankowski really begins juggling with dynamite. Rape and revenge are just the tip of the iceberg in a twisty tale that brings Detroit's denizens to life - and occasional death - in all their seedy glory. Electrifying, explosive, and unexpected, this is Elmore Leonard at his suspenseful best.

After serving time for armed robbery, Ernest "Stick" Stickley is back on the outside and trying to stay legit. But it's tough staying straight in a crooked town - and Miami is a pirate's paradise, where investment fat cats and lowlife drug dealers hold hands and dance. And when a crazed player chooses Stick at random to die for another man's sins, the struggling ex-con is left with no choice but to dive right back into the game. Besides, Stick knows a good thing when he sees it....

Clement Mansell knows how easy it is to get away with murder. The seriously crazed killer is already back on the Detroit streets - thanks to some nifty courtroom moves by his crafty looker of a lawyer - and he's feeling invincible enough to execute a crooked Motown judge on a whim. Homicide Detective Raymond Cruz thinks the "Oklahoma Wildman" crossed the line long before this latest outrage, and he's determined to see that the hayseed psycho does not slip through the legal system's loopholes a second time.

Working at his brother-in-law's New Orleans funeral home isn't reformed jewel thief Jack Delaney's idea of excitement - until he's dispatched to a leper's hospital to pick up a corpse that turns out to be very much alive ... and under the care of a beautiful, radical ex-nun in designer jeans. The "deceased" is the one-time squeeze of a Nicaraguan colonel who's ordered her dead for trying to "infect" him, and Sister Lucy's looking to spirit the young woman away from his guns and goons.

Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match, and more, in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket.

Publisher's Summary

Elmore Leonard and Frank Muller: Unbeatable.

It is such a pleasure to be able to give this book five stars. These two guys are in leagues of their own. Frank Muller was the greatest narrator who ever read a book. Leonard is still alive and about eighty. He has been writing about one book a year for sixty years. He may be slowing down now, but several of his books have been made into movies and at least one into a TV series (Justified, starring Timothy Olyphant, is based on the book called Raylan, and it's one of the few things on TV worth watching). In this book Leonard crafts his typical suspense story, peopled with characters whom he draws quickly. He has an ear for dialogue that is unmatched. He writes about gangsters and regular people in Detroit and Miami. His writing is unique: usually within a paragraph or two you know it's him. The suspense in this book builds to the point at which it is almost unbearable. You just can't believe that George Moran doesn't do what he needs to do until the very last page, and you find yourself urging him to do it. Leonard creates a cast of people who are so real and so vital that you can almost touch them. The monstrous Dominican General DeBoya is so completely evil that you want to kill him yourself. The romance between George and Mary, the General's wife, is tender and believable from their first meeting in the D.R. The details of the war in the D.R. are so vivid that you really think that Leonard might have fought in it. In sum, this is my favorite narrator and one of my favorite writers. You just cannot possibly go wrong with these two gentlemen. I'm so glad that these books are now available on Audible. You will eat them up.

The man--the absolute man.

Elmore Leonard was the master of his art, and Frank Muller the master of his. This kind of storytelling will never get old.

Great story, hard to hear

What didn’t you like about Frank Muller’s performance?

This was the only part we (two of us) had a problem with - That super-confidential tone, deep and quiet, was really annoying - especially when heard through an automobile sound system. It took a great deal of adjusting of bass and treble to make the audio work for us. This has not happened with other performers.

Any additional comments?

Always enjoy Elmore Leonard's novels.

A must for audiobook fans.

Would you consider the audio edition of Cat Chaser to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version but I enjoyed the performance really very much. Frank Muller does a very good job of bringing the characters to life. I could at some point be in love with the lady in the story... Also get scared at that point when the characters confronted each other wondering what will happen now.

What did you like best about this story?

With everything going on around, I liked the George's adventure... especially how they met and even the love plot. Mr. Muller does a great job, really.

Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favorite?

I liked the guy Scully, how his behaviour was conveyed, calm and doing a good job in persuading people by talking etc... and especially his accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes this book pulls you within... You wonder how things will turn up, what twists will there be etc. you can not leave it on the coffee table... need to take it to work.

Any additional comments?

I found a new favorite author, after Burke and Conelly's detective stories.
