From the dust jacket:
The thousands of readers who already know Kenneth Anderson's stories of adventure in pursuit of the man-eating beasts of the Indian jungle will know what to expect from his third and probably his best book. Few can equal him in jungle-lore, his knowledge of the ways of the wild creatures, of the hunters and the hunted, and none can tell a better story, full of excite- ment and color, and crammed with unusual in- formation. Each one of his tales, the truth of which is evident in the simple effective style, holds the reader enthralled from the first word to the last.
In this book the concentration is upon panthers rather than tigers, a very different animal in his habits and quite different to deal with. But there are tigers as well, snakes and a great bull bison that survived a titanic battle with a tiger. These are no mere hunter's stories: thrills there are, but difficulties too, failures and disappointments. But the author, who has spent a lifetime in trying to understand the minds of jungle creatures, takes us into his confidence and explains the methods by which he has been able to rid the remoter inhabitants of India of some of their most terrible enemies. In doing so he builds up a vivid picture of the forest scene, which no reader is likely to forget.
