Since Jaws scared a nation of moviegoers out of the water three decades ago, great white sharks have attained a Mythic status as the most frightening and mysterious monsters to still live among us. Each fall, just 27 miles off the San Francisco coast, in the waters surrounding a desolate Rocky island chain the world's largest Congregation of these fearsome predators gather to feed. Journalist Susan Casey first saw the great whites of the Farallones in a television documentary, within months, she was sitting with two shark scientists in a small motor boat as the sharks- - some as long as 20 ft, as wide as a semi trailer- circle around them. From the first encounter, Casey became obsessed with these all inspiring creatures, and a plan was hatched for her to join the scientists, and follow their research. The devil's teeth is the riveting account of that one faithful shark session.
