Vaillant, a nonfiction writer, tells the story of how a Siberian tiger in Primorye Territory in Russia's Far East attacked and killed a man in 1997 and a team of trackers was dispatched to hunt it down before it could hurt more people. He describes the region, its history and politics, and its tigers and their behavior; the problem of tiger poaching; the work of the Inspection Tiger unit; the investigation into the murder; further attacks; and how the tiger was finally found and killed.
