A Willard Price Adventure Story about Hal and Roger and their adventures in search of wild animals for the world's zoos. Hal and Roger are exploring the world's wildest and most dangerous island, Papua New Guinea. But not even attacks by man-eating crocodiles, nor the island's cannibals, are as deadly as an old enemy, a cold-blooded murderer who silently pursues them through the jungle in search of revenge.
Willard Price was born in 1887 in Peterborough, Ontario. He held a special interest for natural history, ethnology and exploration and made numerous expeditions for the American Museum of Natural History and the National Geographic Society.
He went on to edit various magazines on travel and world affairs and spent six years working in Japan as foreign correspondent for New York and London newspapers. He wrote fourteen adventure stories featuring Hal and Roger Hunt and travelled in seventy-seven countries before his death in 1983.
