About this product

Product Information

On India's North-East frontier a killer elephant is reported to be on the rampage. 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, convinced that no elephant could be guilty of murdering farmers. However as he discovers that the country's elephants have lost their habitat and are at war with the local population, he comes to understand that though a victim of human cruelty, the cunning man-killer is not innocent either. Stalking Assam's paddy fields, he has murdered dozens of farmers, crushing their bodies and mutilating them. A wonderful adventure story, To the Elephant Graveyard is also a telling fable of man's failure to understand and respect his environment and of nature fighting back.
