NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A gripping story of man pitted against
nature's most fearsome and efficient predator. This "travelogue about
tiger poaching in Russia's far east opens up a new genre ... [the]
conservation thriller" (Nature).
Outside a remote village in Russia's Far East a man-eating tiger is on
the prowl. The tiger isn't just killing people, it's murdering them,
almost as if it has a vendetta. A team of trackers is dispatched to hunt
down the tiger before it strikes again. They know the creature is
cunning, injured, and starving, making it even more dangerous. As John
Vaillant re-creates these extraordinary events, he gives us an
unforgettable and masterful work of narrative nonfiction that combines a
riveting portrait of a stark and mysterious region of the world and its
people, with the natural history of nature's most deadly predator.
