Catspaw

The DEA has been working for three years to break up a newly established drug ring constructed to bring cocaine directly form Bolivia into the heartland of America, skirting the existing cartels. The first major shipment is scheduled for transfer in St. Louis but the bust goes sour; the mule is shot, the buyers' car is demolished in a massive explosion, people are killed, and two million in cash and forty kilos of pure cocaine vanish. How can these distant events possibly concern Deke Tanner, a computer salesman from Houston? With his past rapidly catching up with him, the trail to clear his name leads to Red-Eye Swamp in the bowels of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. He's distrusted by the Cajuns, wanted by the law, and faces certain death from drug dealers, the mob, hired assassins and Jo Beth Delaney, a sinister demolition expert that holds the key to his future. It is a game of Catspaw and the players are greed, murder, deception and revenge. Catspaw, which means a ruse, is only a hint of the clever mind and unique writing style of this author and make this novel one you won't be able to put down.
