This book is a compilation of true short stories.Its a welcome to the jungle. In India today, the wild creatures are protected. Sometimes, however, animals become man-eaters. And then they have to be killed. These unusual stories take you into the strange minds of such killer animals and the hunters have to understand them before they can get rid the jungles of such marauders.
This book has some merging, mystifying and mesmerizing stories which keeps the readers on the edge of their seats. The best ones are The scarlet tiger, The circus tiger and The reptile of the Diara!
Its a treat for adventure readers! Although for people with weak hearts I would not recommend this book as it has some facts which might offend their sentiments.
