”It seems not to be an accident of a ship.”（p.44)
A corpse of a young woman was closed on some days. Chief of police Brody in the town tries to conclude the cause of death with "maraud by shark" and make the beach no swimming allowed, but the prominent in the town who stands up for summer excursion refuses this. A boy will be the 2nd victim from delay of correspondence.

A situation was that boy's parents could write the cash prize on shark, and became official, and the net tea against which people of the reward aim pressed from whole United States was hourly-burly. Brody keeps being run after by the correspondence, and calls oceanographer Hooper who is a specialist of shark and asks cooperation. Hooper investigates the first corpse and sees with an act by very large shark.

At the time, a tiger shark was caught. That a downtown settled an event, because Hooper is smaller than the involved trace where the size of the mouth of a tiger shark is left in a corpse during being glad, a possibility which is different shark is pointed out. Confirmation of contents of the digestive organ government post of the shark was proposed for a sense, but a mayor opposed. Brody who can't be convinced and Hooper, the evening, secretly, an abdomen of a shark was torn, but a person couldn't confirm the eaten trace. 2 people who have gone out to search of shark by research ship Hooper possesses find that fisherman's ship of net tea is drifting. Hooper who dived in a sea for an investigation finds a tooth of the big white shark which stuck in the bottom of a ship, but it's lost at the time to which a corpse of the fisherman who wanders was astonishing.

So Brody employs local fisherman QUINT and proposes shark extermination. 3 people, Brody, Hooper and QUINT go out on a vast sea for shark extermination. But the size of the white shark which appeared easily exceeded their expectation. It's huge with Brody and others, a shark, a dogfight starts.

This story is so famous all over the world on movie. But book is so good. It is so thrilling for me. I recommend it.
