Quint

<strong>'Puts some of the balls back into serious English fiction' GILES COREN, <em>THE TIMES</em></strong>

You already know the end of his story: now find out where it all began.

<strong>Quint</strong>: the taciturn and grizzled sea captain who survived the shark-ridden sinking of the <em>USS Indianapolis, </em>only to meet his maker in the maw of a Great White at the end of <em>JAWS</em>. So much more than a fisherman - a survivor, a fighter, a man who has left three wives in his wake.

In this vivid and utterly compelling masterpiece, Robert Lautner reimagines the life of a truly iconic character.

<strong>'If Hemingway's <em>The Old Man and the Sea</em> was doused in whiskey and strained through the gills of a tiger shark, it would not sound dissimilar... one of this year's literary miracles' <em>IRISH INDEPENDENT</em> </strong>

<strong>'Thrilling, brutal, poetic, literary and irresistible, one of the 21st century's first great 20th-century American novels' LOUISA YOUNG</strong>
