Colonel Patterson's gripping true account of building a railway bridge in British East Africa in 1898, when two man-eating lions terrorized his camp and killed dozens of workers. His long hunt for the pair of killers is a classic of adventure and colonial Africa. Riveting for anyone who loves danger under the wild sky.
