Shadow of the Tiger

My next book, a work in progress, is set in the Sundarbans mangrove forest between India and Bangladesh, one of the last remaining untouched habitats of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The tiger is man-eating and those that venture into the delta to fish or collect honey are at risk of losing their lives to this largely unseen predator. The story begins in 1947 at the time of the end of British rule and the partition of India. The characters live under the shadow of the tiger, which has far-reaching consequences for their fate.

I posted the first chapter on the News page:
