It's December 1997 and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia's Far East. The tiger is not just killing people, it's annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. To their horrified astonishment it emerges that the attacks are not random: the tiger is engaged in a vendetta. Injured and starving, it must be found before it strikes again, and the story becomes a battle for survival between the two main characters: Yuri Trush, the lead tracker, and the tiger itself.
Beautifully written and deeply informative, The Tiger is a gripping tale of man and nature in collision, that leads inexorably to a final showdown in a clearing deep in the Siberian forest. TitlePeek
This book is an exceptional window into the world of tigers in east Asia. The writing is outstanding and this is a book everyone should read. I would highly recommend you add this to your reading list.
