Description
A mako shark is captured, put on display at the New York Aquarium, and then — in front of a horrified crowd — regurgitates a human torso. Inspired by a true story, so begins Return of the Mako, the new thriller from author, documentary filmmaker, and shark conservationist William McKeever, in which a murder with no crime scene and no witnesses leaves DEA agent Luke Roberts with a single, improbable lead: the shark herself.
Partnering with the beautiful marine biologist Brigida Castello, Roberts follows the tagged shark across the Atlantic and home again — a trail that pulls back the curtain on a mako shark on the high seas and the clues that may help solve the case.
Woven through the novel is the real high-seas brutality against makos from shark finning, shark tournaments, and other dangers at the hands of mankind. “Sharks aren’t the dangerous creatures that we should fear: it is the sharks that should fear us,” says McKeever.
Return of the Mako takes Jaws and turns it upside down. Fifty years after a great white taught the world to fear sharks, here at last is the novel that hands the story back to the mako: the fastest, the most beautiful, and the most intelligent shark in the sea.
And you will understand, at last, which predator the ocean should truly fear after reading this book.
