About the Book:
Organized predators snatch children in this boisterous thriller.
Scarred of body and heavy of heart, legendary private eye Clayton Russell retreated to his woodland compound in Georgia to sharpen his deadly knife-throwing skills and forget the world's cruelty with his brainy Airedale Terrier, Winston. Then Pamela Waters, Clayton's ex-partner and estranged lover, scolds him out of retirement to find a vanished sixth-grader.
Pam would help, but her hands are full finding holy relics stolen from the Dalai Lama, who graciously offers a cameo, along with his pal Queen Elizabeth. All clues lead to an Amsterdam-based criminal outfit called De Blauwe Organization.
Clayton mobilizes his
vast rolodex of mercenaries and miscellaneous cronies, including a madam with a
heart of gold, to take down DBO. But he hasn’t factored in Fionna Marceau, DBO’s
top “catcher,” who lures in children by dressing as a policewoman or a nun, and
lures in men by parading around topless on yachts.
Gorgeous, amoral and wry, she's a stealthy killing machine to rival Clayton himself.
Towers and Frazier keep their prose brisk, their characters colorful and their action scenes nimble, with plenty of henchmen for Clayton and Winston to maul in creative ways. - Kirkus Reviews
"The initial inspiration was a short story I wrote, 'Fast Tracks', which is basically a platform for Clayton Russell, a reclusive detective who is extremely adept at finding things, especially people. The short story won a national award, so 'The Catcher' was created, based on core characters from that story." ... Gary Towers
