Book #19 -- Michael Capuzzo, Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916, 308 pages.
This starts out rather slow, with a little too much biographical information on the victims and their families and less on the shark -- and really, the only reason you'd read a book like this is for the gory attack scenes, right? As the attacks pick up so does the book, and for the second half of the book I could barely put it down. Definitely recommended despite the slow start.
