Kenneth Anderson verkörperte für den Süden Indiens das, was Jim Corbett für den Norden war: ein Experte für die Fauna und Flora der Natur des 20. Jahrhunderts und ein erfahrener Jäger von Leoparden und Tigern. Mit der wachsenden Bevölkerung und dem Rückgang der Wildtiere griffen diese großen Räuber zunehmend Haustiere an. Oft wurden sie durch die primitiven Waffen der Bauern nur verletzt, was dazu führte, dass sie, stark behindert, Menschen als leicht zu überwindende Beute wählten. Dies stellte eine Katastrophe für die Landbevölkerung dar. Anderson wurde häufig gerufen, auch von offiziellen Stellen, um die Dörfer von diesen grausamen Geiseln zu befreien. Unter extremen Bedingungen verbrachte er Nächte über verwesenden menschlichen Überresten, um die Großkatzen zu überlisten, und stellte sich manchmal selbst als Köder zur Verfügung. Er verfolgte die Fährten der Menschenfresser bis zu ihren Verstecken und kam mehr als einmal nur knapp mit dem Leben davon. Seine packenden und haarsträubenden Schilderungen zeugen von seinem enormen Erfahrungsschatz und seiner leidenschaftlichen Jagd. Dieses fesselnde Buch bietet ein eindrucksvolles Bild der damaligen Verhältnisse im Süden Indiens und ist das siebte Werk des Autors im Parey Verlag.
