Pot Luck by Nick Fisher
A dark, desperate tale of greed, crime, drugs, family, fear - and commercial crab fishing.Brothers Adrian and Matty Collins are close to rock bottom: sick of the sight of each other and barely scraping a living from the only job they have ever known: crab fishing off the south coast. Every day is a depressing repeat of the one that has gone before - until a discovery in a remote spot of the English Channel changes everything.It could be the best thing that has ever happened to them - or the worst?Set in the fishing community of Weymouth, Pot Luck is a thriller with sinister twists, a raggedy mob of opportunists and bottom-feeders, and an ocean of bad blood.
"Nick Fisher's highly original crime caper delves into the deeply fishy underbelly of Weymouth HarbourAmong the stinky bait buckets, raggedy nets and battered lobster pots, drugs are being smuggled, old friendships stretched to breaking point, and someone's clearly about to make a killing. There's a nice whiff of Carl Hiaasen here, but with the unmistakable tang of the British seaside standing in for the Florida Everglades. Funny, dark, surprising and altogether highly entertaining." Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
