Description

In 1998 Hawai‘i, a string of shark attacks along the Kohala coast draws marine biologist Minnow Gray into a perilous investigation beneath the waves. As she works to identify the great white responsible, the case stirs memories of a devastating event involving her father—memories she has spent years trying to suppress. Set against lush island landscapes and the unforgiving beauty of the sea, this atmospheric novel explores the uneasy bond between humans and nature, as well as themes of grief, resilience, and self-discovery. Minnow’s search for answers becomes an emotional journey toward confronting the past and reclaiming her future.
