Drewe's middle class youth in the seaside suburbs of Perth, Australia--often described as the most isolated city in the world--takes a sinister turn when a social outcast (who turns out to be an employee of Drewe's father) embarks on a five-year murder spree. This unusual memoir brilliantly evokes the confluence of adolescent innocence and sexual awakening, while a killer who eventually murders eight people--including several of Drewe's friends--lurks in the shadows.","brand":"Penguin Adult Hc\/Tr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408432881815,"sku":"9780141001968","price":2171.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141001968.webp?v=1767309886","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-shark-net-memories-and-murder-9780141001968","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
