Mako Hooker may look like any other grizzled fishing-boat captain trawling the Bermuda Triangle -- but he's much more. Hooker is in fact a retired government operative taking a break from his highly secret, highly lethal career. When local fishermen begin to fall prey to a monstrous sea creature the islanders dub "the eater," he investigates -- with the help of his off-kilter circle of friends -- and uncovers a sinister conspiracy that will resurrect Hooker's violent past, and pit his legendary (if a bit rusty) skills against a powerful adversary who's out to prove the old spy saying: You're not retired from the Company until you're dead. A riveting novel of criminal intrigue, greed, and the mysteries of the heart -- and of the deep -- this is Mickey Spillane at his hard-boiled best. Read Less
