The link   Man Eating Crocodile In The Ganges: Great White Hunter

                                            Man Eating Crocodile In The Ganges: Great White Hunter by [Singh, Ashok Kumar]


This book has been edited by Stephen Kagen and is the third in the 'Great White Hunter,' series. 


Mokameh Ghat was once Jim Corbetts territory. Situated on the banks of the Ganges, crocodiles were unknown in this part of the river. They had gone extinct sixty years ago due to excessive hunting. Till one strayed in. It was fleeing from poachers. Being an ambush hunter skilled in ambush hunting, the crocodile ambush hunts the humans living on the banks. It becomes a dreaded man eater and is credited with sixty human kills. 



The Indian Government wants it hunted and killed. But who will hunt it? When crocodiles went extinct, so did crocodile hunters. There is no one to hunt and kill the man eater.



Thankfully, there are a few old hunters still alive. Among'st them Henry Phibbs is the best. The villagers living on the banks of the river have heard of him. He is an American who has settled down in India. The villagers home in on him and invite him to the hunt. Unfortunately age is against Henry. Will he accept the challenge?
