Off the coast of Cape Cod, a Japanese bluefin tuna buyer is found
dead on another man's boat, a harpoon shot through his chest. The
dead man's grandfather, a Japanese fishing tycoon, seeks out
part-time private investigator Aristotle "Soc" Socarides to find
those responsible for his grandson's death. Soc is desirable
because he's also a part-time fisherman; because the man also knows
that Soc is deeply in need of funds to repair his dilapidated
fishing boat, he knows Soc'll accept. Soc can't shake an uneasy
feeling about the way the old Japanese man found him and the way he
persuaded Soc to take the job: "It was almost as if he knew me
better than I knew myself." This realization should trigger a
warning light in Soc's head. Maybe it does. But now Soc is curious.
And he still needs the money. What starts out as a simple inquiry
into a young man's death to secure the peace of mind of an old man
mushrooms into an excavation of the bluefin-fishing community. As
Paul Kemprecos's Shamus Award-winning p.i. is about to find out, it
is a small, close-knit but competitive group, where the fact that a
single tuna has a ten- to twenty-thousand-dollar price tag may
inspire men to do evil.
