The sea is a serene haven with its shimmering surface and rhythmic waves. Yet, beneath this facade lies a series of untold mysteries and primordial horrors.
Dunkle’s Bones by Craig Zumwalt reinforces this horror with a living, breathing entity that exudes dread and mystery. The vast and unknowable sea becomes an active participant in the drama, shaping the lives of those who dare to navigate its surface.
Amid this drama is Ned Beehoven, a Coastal Investigations Officer whose life changes forever with the appearance of a deadly sea creature. The story’s pulse quickens with each encounter, building suspense as the creature reveals itself to be more than a predator—it symbolizes the ocean’s unchecked power and the fragility of humanity in the face of nature’s enigmas.
A Terrifying Discovery
From the moment Ned steps onto the deck of a dry-docked yacht—its hull scarred with precise, eight-foot-long grooves—he’s pulled into a mystery far more sinister than he ever imagined. The damage speaks of a predator unlike anything cataloged in marine biology, a creature so massive and cunning it defies logic. But Ned refuses to back down.
Partnership and Peril
Ned collaborates with Alexa Jennings, a sharp and resourceful marine biologist, and Townson Marley, an Oceanography professor. Together, they sift through data, question survivors, and navigate the treacherous waters off False Bay. Their shared determination becomes a lifeline in the face of escalating danger as evidence mounts of a creature larger, faster, and deadlier than any apex predator.
Unraveling the Monster’s Mystique
The novel’s tension builds as Ned uncovers more about this monster. Eyewitness accounts of a massive, bone-armored creature with serrated jaws capable of bisecting a great white shark only deepen the dread.
An Unmissable Deep Dive
Dunkle’s Bones introduces the readers to Ned’s gritty resolve with pulse-pounding action and suspense, offering a fast-paced read.
Craig’s story is an unmissable plunge into the deep for those who love tales of the sea, mysteries that teeter on the edge of the supernatural, and characters who embody determination and bravery. Dive in, but beware—something is lurking in the water, and it’s hungry.
