Publisher's Synopsis
"Maneater" marks the spectacular debut of Jack Warner. Totally absorbing, it is a thriller of verve, accomplishment, tension, and imaginative power. Grady Brickhouse, sheriff of Harte County, Georgia, is good at his job: keeping the peace in a sleepy corner of the huge forested wilderness at the southern tip of the Appalachian Trail. Soon he is pitted against an unlikely but fearsome opponent-a full-grown Bengal tiger that has somehow found its way into his jurisdiction. As the death toll rises every day and the media and the politicians are clamouring for something to be done Brickhouse needs to find answers, and soon.
