    The author constructs a class of groups of isometries of the \(d\)-dimensional hyperbolic space which are not geometrically finite but have finite Patterson-Sullivan measure, thus answering a question raised by Sullivan. The same result was obtained by A. Ancona using methods based on potential theory. The groups constructed by the author are free products of two Kleinian groups which are in Schottky position, that is satisfying the hypothesis of the ping-pong lemma.
