Shark Rising: A Thriller

Jaws meets Michael Crichton in this visceral ecological thriller debut following a chemical spill that turns suburban streets into deadly hunting grounds.

Ten-year-old Lyle and his friends are the first to notice the pattern behind a string of disappearances. After a catastrophic deep-sea chemical spill, sharks begin rising through solid pavement, transforming an ordinary town into a place where the familiar is no longer safe.

Environmental acoustics specialist Dr. Mei Yamaguchi discovers she can track the predators by detecting a subterranean resonance. Her investigation leads back to an experimental corporate cleanup project—and to the brilliant scientist whose fascination with the creatures may prove as dangerous as the sharks themselves.

As the attacks multiply and the predators’ behavior grows increasingly deliberate, fear grips the town, and each new discovery reveals the true scope of the phenomenon. Determined to stop the devastation, Mei joins forces with Detective Sam Hanula to uncover the truth behind an experiment that has unleashed something unprecedented.

Perfect for readers of high-concept speculative thrillers by Blake Crouch and Justin Cronin, Shark Rising blends relentless suspense with ecological horror, exploring the unintended consequences of human ambition when nature evolves beyond our control.
