Synopsis
Ambition, greed, and fear merge on the Atlantic Ocean when hustlers, fish buyers, owners, greedy captains and suffering deckhands meet treachery, storms, and each other. When Jim Hunt, desperate for the bigger boat, is forced to make a deal with Basil Banyon, canny son of a once great Boston fleet owner, Walt Pesco, hired skipper, finds himself in the middle with nowhere to turn. When the 200-mile fishing limit became law everyone thought dollar bills would jump out of the ocean. Instead, traditional fishermen learned the hard way about cut corners, big bucks, and futile dreams.

About the Author
Charlie Sheldon was raised in western Massachusetts and after attending school in New England worked in the fishing industry for many years as a deckhand, mate, skipper, and consultant. He then spent many more years working for various ports on both the East and West Coasts before returning to sea once again as a merchant sailor in 2012. He currently sails with the Sailors Union of the Pacific as an Able Body Seaman and when he is ashore writes, cooks, cleans house, and hikes in the Olympic National park whenever he can.

It is 1977 and the 200-mile Fisheries Conservation Zone law has just passed and all the hustlers, sharks, con men and schemers are loose in the industry. Jim Hunt wants the bigger boat. Basil Banyon wants to reclaim earlier glories before his family lost their fleet to the Canadians in the 1950s. Walt Pesco just wants to make a decent living as a hired skipper and now he's working for Banyon. One October day Hunt's little 44-foot tub trawler Peapod collides with Banyon's Billow, skippered by Pesco, and Peapod sinks. At the Fish Expo in Boston in late October Hunt and Banyon confront each other....
