ABOUT THIS BOOK

Clark's classic novel is a compelling tale of four men who fear a marauding mountain lion but swear to conquer it. It is also a story of violent human emotions--love and hate, hope and despair--and of the perpetual conflict between good and evil.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1909, he ranks as one of Nevada's most distinguished literary figures in the twentieth century, as well as a leading interpreter of the American West. Clark died in Virginia City, Nevada, in 1971.

REVIEWS

"The reason why The Track of the Cat is a novel of the first rank is that its author says something of universal significance. The black panther has always been there since the beginning of man's existence in the world. It will always be there, looming over man and always to be hunted though never killed." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Mr. Clark knows his Nevada, as The Oxbow Incident proved, and he knows how to tell a good hunting story." - The New Yorker

"This is the real beauty of Walter Clark's masterful prose--its wonderful capacity to evoke from the homeliest circumstances the quality of grief and loneliness that exists deep in or under every human effort." - The New York Times
