_It's never safe to go back in the water . . ._**  
  
It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holidaymakers. The first sign of trouble, a warning of what was to come, took the form of a young woman's body - or what was left of it - washed up on the long, white stretch of beach.  
  
A summer of terror has begun . . .  
  
**'Pick up _Jaws_ before midnight, read the first five pages, and I guarantee you'll be putting it down breathless and stunned, as dawn is breaking the next day.' - _Daily Express_**
