Quint

Filling in the remarkable backstory of Jaws' maverick fisherman, Lautner's inspired novel follows Quint from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis to his shark-battling days on Amity in spare, punchy and unforgettable prose.

Before there was Jaws, there was… QUINT.

You already know the end of his story: now find out where it all began.

Quint: the taciturn and grizzled sea captain who survived the shark-ridden sinking of the USS Indianapolis, only to meet his maker in the maw of a Great White at the end of JAWS. So much more than a fisherman – a survivor, a fighter, a man who has left three wives in his wake.

In this vivid and utterly compelling masterpiece, Robert Lautner reimagines the life of a truly iconic character.
