This is a brilliant book, the first Hunter I have read, but not the last. His writing is crystal clear and straight forward, somewhat like Jim Corbett's so if you like Corbetts writings you will love this book.
Hunter gets his man
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is the third of John Hunter's books that I've read. This was better in some ways than either *Hunter* or *White Hunter*. The book begins with he and the District Commisioner trying to stop an ivory poaching ring and the troubles they're having in running the ring leader to ground. What's very pleasing is that during the inevitable lulls that accompany "detective" work, some current happening in the case sparks Mr. Hunter's memory and he digresses to tell some amazing tale from his past. You'll just have to read the book to find out if they get their man.The last chapter was a marvelous account of a safari that he led for an Indian Maharajah. Despite his high royal position and wealth, he was quite a sport; such as when a lioness scampered of with a probable record Thomson's gazelle.Overall, it is a good read and Mr. Hunter has yet to disappoint.
