Synopsis
`Save Our Sharks says the new kiddie-friendly cartoon propaganda poster in the atrium of my local swimming pool. And I`m thinking: "Fuck. Is nothing sacred?" I mean, whatever next? Save Our Cancerous Cells?`
So opens Joe`s story. He`s a man who looks like he`s got it made: he`s solvent, his career`s going a dream and his girlfriend`s a total babe. But something nasty is stalking his karma and fear is fast becoming terror. Black-eyed killer sharks are after him and the razor jaws of a Great White (Charcharodon Carcharias) are closing in on him.
`Here`s a rare thing, a contemporary novel that`s genuinely funny, cleverly conceived and written with a great deal of skill and dexterity.... Fin is slick, pacy and easy to read. Above all, though, it`s funny. Much to my annoyance, I laughed out loud several times - and in public too` John Preston, Sunday Telegraph
