"Dark Noon" is the mesmerizing re-creation of a fateful day at
sea. It is also a story of the postwar American dream as
experienced in the fishing village of Montauk, Long Island, where
fish were money and where optimism and success went hand in hand.
And it's a story of the end of an era, when one terrible disaster
changed the fishing culture of a prosperous port forever.
"Meticulously researched. A fascinating
story."--"Distinction"
"A first-rate reportorial job that builds to a taut and
suspenseful climax of incredible detail. The harrowing description
of men gaff-hooked out of the churning swells is
unforgettable."--"The Independent"
