AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A Melbourne Jewish second-hand dealer and diamond merchant has a friend arrange for him to flee his creditors and join a boat from a quiet spot up the Victorian coast. An honest fisherman and son and a superstition about a shark which waits for bodies at the spot help pin-point the old man's murderer - who misses the diamonds and is himself eaten by the shark.
