'Totally original. A taut and unpredictable thriller' CHRIS HAMMER
'A compulsively gripping twist . . . Terrific' VASEEM KHAN
'A propulsive and utterly compelling story' PETER PAPATHANASIOU
__________
Every monster has a weakness.
At the height of Australian summer, a serial killer known as The Shark stalks a coastal suburb, hunting young female swimmers.
Afraid and furious at the failure of the police to protect them, two women fight back. Raych is grieving someone she'd have died to save, while Carmen hides her own disturbing connection to the murders.
In desperation, they form an uneasy alliance. And when another girl vanishes, they take matters into their own hands - by kidnapping the prime suspect. But as their interrogation spirals, horrifying truths surface on both sides of the table.
The clock is ticking to save the missing girl. And in their quest for justice, Raych and Carmen must face the darkest question of all: have they caught a monster - or become one?
The Shark is a propulsive psychological thriller about fear, vengeance and the thin line between predator and victim.
