But a stubborn judge throws out the case because the suspects were not read their rights  leaving Sheriff Bobby Lee Baggett and Lieutenant Cam Richter to face the anger of the victims families. Soon thereafter  a mysterious e-mail arrives in the department: a link to a video of one of the murderers being executed in a homemade electric chair  ending with a voice announcing  \"Thats one.\" The shocking video spreads throughout the Internet  drawing the attention of local  state  and federal authorities and national media  and putting intense pressure on Bobby Lee and Cam to find the vigilante before he claims his second victim.  Assigned to head the search  Cam finds himself resented by some of his fellow officers and subtly threatened by others. His job is further complicated by the fact that the offending judge is also his ex-wife and now---after years apart  and an uneasy reconciliation---his sometime lover. Cams questions lead him to a remote mountain area in western North Carolina and a group of daredevils who call themselves \"the cat dancers\"---so named because they have tracked the last wild mountain lions in the region to their dens  where they have photographed the animals face-to-face  or died trying. Cam must hunt this group and the cats they seek  or become their next target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646907146293,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312333773","price":34.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312333775.jpg?v=1781681115","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cat-dancers-a-novel-9780312333775","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
