What is Savage Shore: Life and Death with Nicaragua's Last Shark Hunters about?

<p>Nicaragua's Atlantic coast is home to the most dangerous of fish, the bull shark, a lethal predator with a fearsome appetite and the only shark that swims in inland waters. Braving Nicaragua's hurricane-torn wilderness of mangrove swamps, Edward Marriott joins the last surviving shark fishermen to sail in a dugout canoe and fish for sharks with a hand line.</p> <p>As Marriott charts the life of the bull shark, its migrations, its voracious feeding patterns, and the treasures it offers — oil for vitamins, hide for leather, and fins for soup — he reveals lives spent in fear and awe in the shadow of a monster that can sniff fresh blood a mile away. He also tells a tale of human greed: an elemental community, battered by civil war and natural disasters, is now degraded beyond repair to the point of providing bounty for modern-day pirates.</p> <p>A gripping narrative of risk and adventure, a poignant record of loss and corruption, Savage Shore confirms Marriott as one of our most original and insightful travel writers.</p> <p>Edward Marriott is the author of The Lost Tribe, a finalist for the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award and a New York Times Best Travel Book for 1997.
