Publisher's Synopsis
Abused and half-starved, an escapee from a travelling circus, the South American jaguar slides through the unfamiliar terrain seeking a meal. Her hunting limited by the growing weight of her belly, she comes upon an easy food source - cattle... Lord Reynold Aitcheson, Earl of Sudcliffe, carries the reputation of being a hunter of big cats. Upon learning of a large wild animal killing cattle in New South Wales, he hires Albert Walsh as his guide and they begin an adventure of unknown length and peril. Will the cunning black panther become the hunted, or remain the hunter in this deadly game? And what surprise does she have in store for the hunters and any unwary humans?
