TOXIC TIDE
Professor Amos Frost thought he
was going to enjoy a quiet sabbatical visiting old friends on Florida's
Gulf coast with
his son Windy...until one day they went fishing in Amos' dory. To their
astonishment, they discovered weird injured fish swimming disjointedly
beneath the bay water. Dissappointed in their fishing expedition and
puzzled by the odd behavior of the fish, the two had already turned back
to shore when hungry sharks, drawn in from the outer Gulf for an easy
meal, hit the vulnerable fish with a vengeance, almost sinking Amos'
small boat and actually devouring a nearby fisherman who fell into the
sharks'
feeding frenzy.
What had caused such catastrophic damage to the fish, luring predator
sharks into the bay? How had it happened and who was responsible? Amos
sets out on a dangerous course to find the answer.
