✦ Synopsis

On India’s North-East frontier, a killer elephant is on the rampage. Stalking Assam’s paddy fields, he has murdered dozens of farmers, crushing their bodies and mutilating them. Local forestry officers, powerless to stop him, issue a warrant for the rogue’s destruction and call in the one man equipped to bring an end to the killing. Local authorities call in one of India’s last licensed elephant killers. Reading about the ensuing hunt in a Delhi newspaper, Tarquin Hall flies to Assam to investigate.
