  **JAWS MEETS BILL BRYSON IN THIS AMAZING TRAVEL BOOK** Nicaragua's Atlantic coast is a hurricane-torn wilderness of mangrove swamps, brackish lagoons and black-sand beaches. The region is also home to the bull shark, the most aggressive and unpredictable of all tropical sharks and the only maneater perfectly adapted to both salt and fresh water - the only shark able to penetrate far inland.This powerful and moving narrative, weaving together exploration of a little- known region with a wider exploration of our eternal fascination with sharks - as both predator and endangered species - confirms Edward Marriott as one of the most original and insightful travel writers of his generation.
