Dark Noon by Tom Clavin
Dark Noon is the mesmerizing re-creation of a fateful day at sea. It is also a story of the postwar American dream as experienced in the fishing village of Montauk, Long Island, where fish were money and where optimism and success went hand in hand. And it’s a story of the end of an era, when one terrible disaster changed the fishing culture of a prosperous port forever.“Meticulously researched. A fascinating story.”--Distinction“A first-rate reportorial job that builds to a taut and suspenseful climax of incredible detail. The harrowing description of men gaff-hooked out of the churning swells is unforgettable.”--The Independent
Tom Clavin is the editor of The East Hampton Independent and The Southampton Independent, two of the most award-winning weekly newspapers in the U.S. Over the last nine years he has written and edited hundreds of articles dealing with fishing and boating, and he has access to vast human and written resources on maritime history in general and the fishing port of Montauk in particular. He wrote for The New York Times from 1984 to 1996 and was the chief environmental correspondent for half that time. His articles on sports, business, health, adventure, travel, and entertainment have appeared in Readers Digest, Cosmopolitan, Golf Magazine, Family Circle, and others. He has co-written several screenplays including one that is presently in pre-production with director Eric Styles.
