This book was very good.  It has two main stories - one about a mountain lion preying on people in the town of Goldstrike, Ca. the other is a young black preacher nailed to a dead tree.  The Chief of police has his hands full with the racial strife that grows with the terrible murder.The chief of police and his deputy are former LAPD officers - one white and one black. As the panic and racial feelings rise they do everything in their power to solve the murder before anything more can develop.  Throw in an avenging grandmother, a mayor for life movie star, a cute game warden and ex cons - the story is hopping.I really did not figure out who the murderer was until the shortly before the end.  One thing I thought was a little farfetched was the way the mountain lion was taken down.I really enjoyed this book -  I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my review.But after reading it I would have purchased it.
