Mary Morris was on the verge of a well-earned sabbatical, but instead she endured three months in a wheelchair, two surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. One morning, when she was supposed to be in Morocco, Morris was lying on the sofa reading \u003ci\u003eDeath in Venice\u003c\/i\u003e, casting her eyes over these words again and again: \"He would go on a journey. Not far. Not all the way to the tigers.\" Disaster shifted to possibility and Morris made a decision. When she was well enough to walk again, she would go \"all the way to the tigers.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo begins a three-year odyssey that takes Morris to India on a tiger safari in search of the world's most elusive apex predator.
