      The gripping true story of the hunt for a man-eating tiger across the forbidding landscape of Russia's Far East....

      **From the author of the 2023 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction winning Fire Weather**

      ''An unbelievable tale, expertly told'' Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Empire of Pain

      ''A superb book '' Daily Mail · ''Masterful . . . mesmerising, rangy and relentless'' Sunday Telegraph

      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 revenge. Injured, 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
