Set in the magnificent mangrove swamp of the Sundarban in Bangladesh, this is the story of Rafik and Tiger Timur - the former a corrupt police officer and the latter a student politician with a reputation for delivering the votes by terrorizing the locals.
Rafik leveled the rifle at Tiger Timur.
“There’s a man-eater out there!”
“Open the door and get out.”
Tiger Timur unbolted the door. The odour of a strange flower greeted them. There was nothing to be seen outside. The boy descended the steps. He began to cry.
“Please! Please! I beg you, don’t send me into the jungle!”
