Sawfish
by Rick Chesler
Genre: Horror
Synopsis
Marine biologist Dr. Mason Rayman is experimenting with gigantism in sea creatures when he accidentally creates a monstrously large sawfish. When it grows so big he can no longer keep it in his Miami lab, he is preparing to have it destroyed when he learns he is being terminated from his position. By way of revenge, he dumps the oversized shark relative into the ocean, where it soon roams out of control, slaughtering bathers at nearby trendy South Beach.
Dr. Rayman doesn’t let on that it’s his fish responsible for the killings, but someone knows what he did, and she’s blackmailing him. He plays along for a while but then decides she needs to be eliminated. Breaking into a lab at his former workplace, he deliberately creates more monster sawfish and releases them into the local waters.
Rayman then attempts to get his job back by stepping forward as the expert on how to stop the scourge of gigantic predators now ravaging swimmers and water sports enthusiasts on South Florida beaches. But his blackmailer will not let up, leading to an ultimate confrontation between woman and beast, and finally, woman and man.

I added this book back in February of 2016. I find loads of scary books through other people’s suggestions and two people I go to often for new ones both read this and gave it very different ratings. That made me curious to try Sawfish. Now I’ll finally get to it.

Yep. No more swimming in the ocean for me!
I like the sound of this one. I wouldn’t want to come face to face with this fish! I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
Living by the bayous I’ve seen some really strange creatures. That’s not including sharks and gators. LOL
