The Devil's Teeth
Susan Casey, a journalist assigned to report on the hunt for a great white shark that killed a beloved surfing icon, stumbles on a team of scientists desperately trying to protect great whites from Earth's greatest predator: humans. The scientists, who live on a harsh, desolate patch of rock called the Farallones, allow Susan into their lives, where she is faced with a choice: Report the story she's been assigned, or gamble her career, her relationship, and ultimately her life to save a creature most people view as a vicious monster.
