Silver Bay

When Mike Dormer heads out from London to a small seaside town in Australia to kick-start a multi-million pound hotel development, he expects just another money-making deal and a step up the corporate ladder. But Silver Bay is not just any seaside town, and the inhabitants of the eccentric ramshackle Silver Bay Hotel - the enigmatic skipper Liza McCullen, her ten-year-old daughter, and her legendary shark-catching aunt Kathleen, as well as the crews of the local whale-watching boats - swiftly begin to temper Mike’s own shark-like tendencies. As the development begins to take on a momentum of its own, and the effect on the bay's whales and dolphins reveals itself, Mike and Liza's worlds collide, with dramatic results. Unforeseen hazards emerge to confront both the creatures and the McCullen women. And Mike is forced to answer the question that haunts all the bay's inhabitants. How close can you get, before you end up destroying what you love?
