Publisher's summary

A series of violent shark attacks off the shores of northern California draw the attention of pessimistic Detective Luke Jansen. Despite reports of shark sightings by witnesses, the injuries appear to be more reminiscent of a chainsaw-wielding maniac rather than shark bites.

Things get stranger when marine biologist Elise Sheldon encounters the creature. Exhausted and traumatized, she is quickly dismissed, after she makes the claim that the beast is a Helicoprion. Thought to be extinct, the creature wields a spiraling set of teeth that can dice anything caught in its path. Unable to convince anyone of its existence, Elise turns to Detective Jansen for assistance.

With little help from the police department, Luke and Elise form an unlikely alliance to uncover the truth. Their investigation puts them face-to-face with a violent man-eating shark, and the terrifying reason for its existence.

Absolutely Recommend

This book was fantastic. The main character was well written, moody cop with a haunting past, it was kinda nice that the choice of shark wasn’t the usual Great White or Megaladon, and following a cop going after it instead of a scientist like a lot of these types of stories honestly just made more sense. The plague was a really nice what if touch as well. 2 days of listening very well spent.

I really enjoy ocean monster stories

The worst thing about the story was Luke. The main character who just seemed to have such a terrible attitude. It's hard to root for a guy like that.

This is awesome!

This is a great book. Well written and developed. You become invested in the characters very early on and it doesn't stop. Also, Louis B. Jack is one of the best narrators ever. I loved this audible book and I think every one she give it a listen.

Like Meg…with Mercs!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of action set pieces and gore galore. I really connected with the two main characters by the end. Luke was assholishly awesome. The story though, was some straight Bond villain type stuff. A little cheesy, but it worked in the end.

Goes a little deeper

I liked the action and the plot. it seems like your typical big shark gets loose and kills people plot, but then it takes a turn and gets into a whole secondary plot which becomes the primary plot. Tha narrator did a great job as well, making the characters believeable.

Very good

I actually liked it. It was a highly unrealistic story elaborated into a very good storyline. Good for taking your mind off of everyday troubles...

REALLY GOOD!

Very pleasantly surprised. Great story, great characters, great gore, and awesome narrator. Had a twist I didn't see coming to add more guts to the story.
