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.
