I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.This is the first book I've read by this author. I thought it was a very good book and I would like to read more of this author's books.This book actually has two stories or plots happening at the same time. One is about a rogue mountain lion preying on people in the town of Goldstrike, Ca. The other is a murder mystery concerning a young black preacher found nailed to a dead tree. The Chief of police, Ron Ketchum, his deputy, Oliver Gosden are former LAPD officers, one white and one black. They are very busy trying to solve a murder, catch a mountain lion that is terrorizing their town, control racial strife that grows with the terrible murder and deal with a curse by an avenging grandmother. There are many more colorful characters involverd in this story.The author does a wonderful job inter-weaving the plots and characters. I'm normally very good at determining "who done it", but this one had me fooled.I would highly recommend this book to those who like mysteries
