I should start off by saying that I am not the biggest Elmore Leonard fan. I love his writing style, but I usually don't care much for his stories or his characters. Not that I hate them, just that I don't find them particularly interesting. Having said that...Cat Chaser is weak by almost any standard. It starts off with George Moran, an ex-Marine, deciding that he wants to visit Santo Domingo. Why? For closure, since he fought a war there. Okay, whatever. We'll discover he's EXTREMELY sentimental. Anyway, while he's there he decides to look for some kid that tried to shoot him 16 years ago. He puts an ad in a newspaper, which just happens to get picked up by a radio station, making Moran famous. Why does any of this matter? It doesn't help him find that (now grown) kid, but it does give a con-artist a chance to step in. So the kid is a plot device; got it. Meanwhile, Moran meets up with a former...let's call her girlfriend, Mary. Moran knew Mary a few years ago, but he hadn't seen her since his divorce until she just happens to show up in Santo Domingo on the same day as George. So they have a nice few days in bed and try to decide how Mary can leave her husband. She can't just come out and leave him, you see, because then he wouldn't realize it's all because he's a creep. So she decides to wait until her departure will best advance the plot. And the con-artist, well, they both know he's a con-artist but still keep him around because...actually, there's no viable reason at all for them to keep him around, they just do.Anyway, George and Mary both head back to Miami, where they part and 15 minutes later -- literally -- start missing each other. Moran's such a softie. He also owns a motel that never has any guests.
