About this listen

In the aftermath of a hurricane, a series of strange events plague the coastal waters off Florida. People go into the water and never return. Corpses of killer whales drift ashore, ravaged from enormous bite marks. A fishing trawler is found adrift, with a mysterious gash in its hull.

Transferred to the coastal town of Merit, police officer Leonard Riker uncovers the horrible reality of an enormous thresher shark lurking off the coast. Forty feet in length, it has taken a territorial claim to the waters near the town harbor. Armed with three-inch teeth, a scythe-like caudal fin, and unmatched aggression, the beast seeks to kill anything sharing the waters.

Michael Cole has another book, of a similar sharky theme called Scar. Of the two, Scar is my preferred story, but this should not take away from Thresher. It's still great. It's still fun, lots of crazy things happen, and there is a lot of sharky goodness.
There is no reason why you won't like this book if you like books like Jaws etc.

Not quite as good as Scar, but still a great book.

This is not what I was expecting. I thought it would be your typical want to be Jaws or Meg story but it was actually really great. Will definitely be on my permanent list and one that I revisit.

Great Listen
