Catspaw

When $2 million and 40 kilos of cocaine go missing in a bungled drug bust, dealers, mob men, DEA officers and hired assassins sniff out a trail deep into the swamps of Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin in David L. Fey's thriller Catspaw. In a plot as murky as the Red-Eye Swamp itself, the disparate worlds of computer salesman Dekeh Tanner, demolitions expert Jo Beth Delaney, a Bolivian cocaine ring and a family of swamp-bound Cajuns are impossibly tangled. While Fey excels at conjuring up Louisiana's sticky bayous, he picks a complicated, sometimes frustratingly meandering route to the resolution. .
