THE BEAST IN THE GARDEN
by David Baron

Mountain lion attacks on humans, once considered very rare or non-existent, have become more frequent as people are moving into lion habitat around towns such as Boulder, Colorado. The Beast in the Garden is the true story of Jim Halfpenny and Michael Sanders' research into the human-cougar confrontations along the Front Range of Colorado. David Baron wove together this complex story of the rise of the cougar population and the inevitable clash with the increasing human population around the city of Boulder. In his compelling book, Baron brilliantly intertwines human-cougar interactions in contemporary society with those of centuries past. Few know cougars and cougar interactions as Jim and Michael do and this is their story.

"You will be astonished; you will be gripped by a story begging to be told. A compelling not-to-be-put-down book about what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force." Jeffery Moussaieff Masson, author of The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats.
