The Jade Claw (Paperback)

About the Book Randall Pride rescues an orphaned, Asian Swamp Cat while serving as a door gunner in Viet Nam. A shaman rewards his good deed with a jade claw necklace, said to contain power to protect and guide its owner. Over three decades later, and through no twist of fate, he is able to adopt another wild cub from an exotic breeder. Going through a divorce, he moves into a seedy mobile home park where he meets three, unsavory individuals that he believes are involved in the sale of drugs. With the help of a prostitute he rescues from the streets, the wild cub, and the jade claw necklace, he begins an investigation only to find out that the three culprits are involved in something far more reaching and much more devasting than he first suspected. From the jungles of Viet Nam to the alligator-infested swamps of Florida, the story takes many unexpected twists and turns. Throw in a tropical, gale-force hurricane to sweeten the pot and you have all the makings for an exciting novel. About the Author Chuck Cunningham served with the U.S. Navy as an aircrewman on a patrol plane. His squadron was deployed to Viet Nam in 1967. Since his discharge he has worked a variety of jobs ranging from a deck hand on a lobster boat to roughnecking on oil rigs and about everything in between. Today he leads a quiet life in Florida where he raises Asian Swamp Cats. A mu;tifaceted individual, he borrowed from his life's experiences: the military, interest in the spiritual/mystical, life in the streets, and his love for wild cats and wove them into a complex and interesting plot in his debut novel, "The Jade Claw."
