A perfect gift or escape for lovers of the ocean, fishing and the characters it attracts
In this entertaining collection of short stories, Ross Doughty draws us magically into the underwater world of diving and fishing and its odd cast of characters.
In The Diver, it's the last dive of the last day, the last chance. Donnie has always been a crafty guy, but why did he just give his diving buddy a high-five? In Shag Point, the owner of a resort that has been on the market for months is getting frustrated. What's behind the mysterious offer to buy Shag Point and what does Lindy know? A strange pact in Underwater Garden has a diver offering up a lobster while a large octopus wraps its tentacles around his wrist. And in Big Man Small Man, life is pretty good for Lofty and Devito, a reward for helping their boss Harvey turn a quick profit on some dodgy boat dealing. But Harvey has a spot of bad luck when one of the big Volvos on his floating gin palace seizes up. He needs cash quick.
Each of the 32 tales is accompanied by one of Sara Ransley's delightful illustrations making this book a perfect gift or escape for lovers of the ocean, fishing and the characters it attracts.
