The Shark House by Sara Ackerman

A haunting mystery beneath the ocean's surface, set against the breathtaking beauty and danger of Hawai'i.

Hawai'i, 1998. When a string of rare shark attacks unsettles the Kohala coast, marine biologist Minnow Gray is called in to investigate. Known for her remarkable connection to sharks, Minnow may be the island's best hope for discovering why the attacks are happening—and whether the same great white shark is responsible.

But for Minnow, the investigation is deeply personal.

Years earlier, she witnessed a devastating tragedy involving a white shark and her own father, leaving behind memories and questions she has never fully confronted. Returning to the waters of Hawai'i forces Minnow to face the past she has spent years trying to escape.

As fear spreads throughout the island, Minnow works to protect the sharks from a community demanding answers. Her investigation leads her to an unexpected alliance with enigmatic fisherman Luke Greenwood—and to secrets that could shake the community to its core.

Atmospheric, emotional, and filled with mystery and danger, The Shark House explores the complicated relationship between humans and the natural world while telling a powerful story of resilience, redemption, and confronting the past.
