Book description
In the Indian forest, danger lurks in every corner and Kuma must teach
her cubs the harsh rules of survival against Nature. But when a tiger
is worth more dead than alive, she must face the most cunning enemy of
all - Humans. From eyes to bones, a tiger's body is worth its weight in
gold and when poachers infiltrate the Kanla Tiger Park, a more desperate
struggle begins. The tigers' fate lies with Himal and Anji and their
father Inspector Singh, who together with the Park's trained elephants
and riders, must save the tigers by setting their own trap ...

to avoid any formal education until the age of eleven. After school in
England, he joined the army for sixteen years, then worked and travelled

in London with his wife and their cocker spaniel, Harriett, and advises
charities dedicated to the preservation of endangered species. He has
