In 1995, Italian director Mattei stunned the civilized world with CRUEL JAWS, the ultimate sharksploitation saga that liberally borrowed characters, plot, and footage from Joe D’Amato’s DEEP BLOOD and Enzo G. Castellari’s THE LAST SHARK. In Brad Carter’s novelization, something sinister has come to the coastal town of Hampton Bay. Something horrifying and colossal that refuses to stop killing until the white sand beaches are blood red. Now, a renegade shark expert and a down-on-his-luck lawman are all that stand between a genetically engineered killing machine and thousands of blissfully unaware tourists, and it's a race against time, bureaucratic red tape, and the mafia to stop a homicidal shark from turning a holiday weekend into a nightmare of carnage.
