A young woman makes love on the beach, then takes a midnight swim. As she swims, she is violently struck, chopped in two. The next morning pieces of her body are found at the water's edge.
So begins Jaws, the story of a Long Island resort town called Amity that is set upon by a rare and fearsome creature, the great white shark. A superbly exciting novel, JAWS is also a tale of moral dilemma. For the town fathers of Amity decide to cover up the woman's death: news of a killer shark could ruin the summer business. They forbid police chief Martin Brody to close the beaches. The shark has gone, they say. But the shark remains and kills again, and the life of the town becomes governed by the remorseless, almost gov- supernatural presence offshore.
