An intelligent, suspenseful tale that shines a spotlight on an important issue, White Tiger is the sequel to Van Der Rol's Black Tiger. This novel is a continuation of the fated love between Sally and Ash, humans who also host were-tigers, an alter into which they can change form at will. In addition to this romance and fantasy element, there's a strong crime mystery involving drug dealing/smuggling and the various illegal and unethical uses of tigers: for sport, for parts in medicine, and as inbred circus freaks, in the case of the rare white tigers. All these issues are explored through the fast-paced vehicle of the crime drama and the other couple investigating it, Jill a tiger activist and Gardner, a reporter obsessed with getting to the bottom of the crime ring..  If I could have had anything more, it would have been a brief review of the history of the were-tiger element and how Sally and Ash came to be hosting these powerful entities--it had been awhile since I read Black Tiger.All in all, a story that can't help taking you away--to a tiger breeding ranch with a mock colisseum, right here in the United States.
