Dealer Notes

The track of the cat – at which the typographically punning dust jacket hints – is the tread of a cattle-killing panther in the snowscape of northern California, with the ranching brothers getting closer and closer as they try to hunt it in a blizzard...”You can take it as a symbolic, universal drama of man [sic] against an implacable Evil Principle, forever stalking him [sic]” (Saturday Review of Literature).
