Spider Mountain

by P.T. Deutermann

Book Overview

A huge dog came out of the woods from our right and lunged at my face. I ducked the snapping jaws by throwing myself backward hard enough to crack my head on the ground. The dog went over my head, landing in a heap, but then whirled around . . . Summoned by a friend, ex-cop Cam Richter agrees to do a favor: investigate the assault of a young woman in a remote area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Cam knows the misty hills and shadowed hollers...

Very exciting sequel

This sequel to "Cat Dancers" is a stand alone story but reading the first book would help understand the characters and some of the story line. That said, don't start this one unless you are prepared to dedicate some seriou time to finishing it. The action is constant, the dialogue crisp and the bad guys are really bad. The story takes place in the North Carolina mountains with Cam and his two German Shepards helping out a friend with an unusual assault case. From there things pretty much go downhill for Cam. There are a lot of interesing characters and plenty of action and hair raising adventure. Frick and Frack bring a lot to the story as Cam's friends and protectors. Mr. Deutermann is one of the best thriller/mystery writers around today. I suspect there will be a third novel in this series. Highly recommended.

Spyder Mountain Mystery

This book I thoroughly enjoyed. This is the first protagonist (Cam Richter) that was brought back for a second story that Pete Deutermann has written. All the characters in the book are realistic people and even though creations of the author's imagination ring true as I've seen similar characters during my lifetime. The best thing to do with this book is to read the first one as well as this one to get the proper background, even though the 2nd story stands on its own merits!

Spider Mountain Review

This book revisits the Primary Character of Duterman's book, "Cat Dancers". It is a page turner, that I could not put down. The action is continuous and exciting from begininning to end. Buy it and ready it! Matter of fact, if you are not already a P.T. Deuterman fan, you will soon become one. Please read "Cat Dancers" first, just for the story. "Spider Mountain" can stand on it's own, but it just makes more sense if you have already read "Cat Dancers" ("Cat Dancers" is a super exciting and not stop action thriller too!) What more can I say? Get them both, they are great reads!

A standoff with a local matriarch known to destroy people...

P.T. Deutermann's SPIDER MOUNTAIN receives veteran Dick Hill's smooth, seamless narrative style which perfectly captures and matches the story of an ex-cop who pursues a vicious gang through the Smoky Mountain wilderness area. His journey will take him deep into Appalachia culture to a standoff with a local matriarch known to destroy people.
