return of the maneater

The shots that wound a tiger seriously turn it into a ferocious man-eater. These shots were mainly the doing of naïve hunters who use muzzle loader. This vicious man-eater usually stalks lonely travellers on forest roads and prowls isolated villages. The villagers cower inside their huts for days and wait for the righteous saviour to end the terror. Khan, an engineer did not wound a tiger. He shot the man-eating tigress and girlfriend of Sherkhan to help the villager, Nawab. Sherkhan was also a man-eater and thrived on humans. He watched Khan and Nawab. It was never heard of in history of the mankind that the man-eating tiger followed a human to take revenge. Sherkhan followed, stalked and terrorized Khan. Sherkhan subsequently became a subject of great interest after he took his revenge. Many wondered and were curious if Sherkhan persisted in his carnivorous tendencies, acquired a new mate, or continued to stalk humans after exacting his revenge. Sherkhan continued man eating and created havoc among villagers. But who ended Sherkhan’s reign of terror? The book ’Return of the Maneater’ answers all.
