A man-eating tiger is hunting villagers in the snowy forests of Far Eastern Russia.
A small team of men and their dogs must hunt the tiger in turn. As evidence mounts, it becomes clear that the tiger''s attacks aren''t random: it is seeking revengeInjured, starving and extremely dangerous, the tiger must be found before it strikes again.
As he tracks the tiger''s deadly progress, John Vaillant draws an unforgettable portrait of a distant and brutal region, over 5,000 miles from Moscow. In the harsh depths of winter in Primorye, a gripping tale of man and nature unfolds.
''Exciting, memorable - and perfectly, impeccably right . . a tale of astonishing power and vigour'' Simon Winchester, author of The Surgeon of Crowthorne
