Read Cam - 04 - Nightwalkers Storyline:

From Publishers WeeklyA cast of eccentric Southern characters, several of whom could have escaped from the pages of Gone with the Wind, lifts Deutermann's winning fourth novel to feature PI Cam Richter (after The Moonpool). Cam, tired of suburban life, is buying Glory's End, a rundown plantation in Rockwell County, N.C. First, he must deal with a modern-day œghost—in cop parlance, someone just released from prison who decides to get revenge on the person who put him in jail. Then it's on to an even deadlier, more mysterious malefactor who's trying to kill him for reasons unknown. Cam's next door neighbors are Valeria Lee and her mother, Hester, who along with their lunatic relative, Maj. Courtney Woodruff Lee, dress and live in a strange antebellum past. The major likes to wear Confederate gray while spending his nights riding horseback around the countryside looking for Yankee spies. Cam's German shepherds, Frick, Frack and Kitty, help propel the action to an electrifying conclusion. (June) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Thriller fans will look forward to further entries in this fine series.”—_Publishers Weekly _“Richter is an easygoing, likable series hero, and Deutermann has a strong, fluid writing style.... The series is still relatively young, but it’s already proven to be a winner.”—_Booklist_ SPIDER MOUNTAIN“Fast-paced... imaginative plotting.”—_Publishers Weekly_ “Another pulse-pounding thrill ride...An unnerving, tightly-woven thriller.”—_Cincinatti Library_“The stuff of series heroes...a battle royal.”—_Kirkus Reviews_“Non-stop action.”—Mysterylovers.com“One of the crime genre’s more original and memorable creations...a welcome change from the usual sort of thriller villain.”—_Booklist_Praise for THE CAT DANCERS“A spellbinding novel of suspense...quite possibly his best.”—Nelson DeMilleHUNTING SEASON“Explosive tour de force.... The author exceeds his near-perfect _Train Man with this ripped-from-the-headlines-plot pitting a middle-aged Rambo with a small but deadly arsenal of spy gadgets against spine-chilling villains, corrupt agency brass and powerful political forces. Deutermann never sounds a wrong note in this nonstop page-turner.”—Publishers Weekly _(starred review)“You think you have read this before. Trust me. You haven’t. And you should...a great read.”—_Tribune _(Greensburg, PA)“One of the lasting conventions in thriller-writing involves putting the hero in a situation where the reader is forced to ask, ‘How can he possibly get out of that?’...Deutermann...exploits that convention to the hilt in Hunting Season.”—_Houston Chronicle_“Enough techno and black ops to satisfy Clancy fans, enough double-dealing, back pedaling internecine treachery to keep Carre fans reading and enough plot turns and suspense to keep Crichton and Higgins Clark devotees guessing.” —_The Florida Times-Union_“Deutermann’s previous novel, Train Man, was a marvelous, bang-up action novel...in Hunting Season he equals the thrills...Deutermann writes with authority and inventiveness. Add in top-secret gizmos, heroes meaner than villains...and you’ve got one of the best by one of the best at what he does.” —_Telegraph [Macon, GA]_“The tale is loaded with political and bureaucratic skullduggery, and there are plenty of well-banked curves and clever twists. A solid read from an author whose own tradecraft is every bit as good as that of his characters.”—_Booklist___“Deutermann has sold three novels to Hollywood already. They’re blind if they pass on this one.”—_Kirkus Reviews_
