Close to shore i don't know much about  the story but when i started to read it i was thinking it will be something like jaws where three guys go out to hunt a shark and kill it all that stuff.But the story Close to the shore is a whole different game there is no hunting the shark but it does take place on a beach i don't know what beach but it evan has things like shark path maps and other little things about a sharks daily life and how it can migrate to the north from the south and everything like that.So it does tack a place as jaws because a lot of people are at the beach and a shark comes up and cases panic with all the people on the beach but unlike jaws the shark does not attack anyone just macks a panic.
