Jaws Summary

Jaws by Peter Benchley

It's never safe to go back in the water. Celebrating its fiftieth anniversary with 20 million copies sold, Peter Benchley's Jaws is the gripping pulp thriller that inspired Steven Spielberg's classic, blockbuster film adaptation.

It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holidaymakers. The first sign of trouble, a warning of what was to come, took the form of a young woman's body or what was left of it washed up on the long, white stretch of beach.

A summer of terror has begun . . .
