(a great story about the real life inspiration for Peter Benchley's Jaws)

(Not sure on Quint. Capuzzo's book was mainly about the shark attacks themselves. There isn't anybody quite like Quint in this book, as Quint main back story was his experience as a survivor of the USS Indianapolis torpedoing in the closing days of WWII, and that obviously hadn't occurred yet in 1916).

(What can I say, it's the first thing that popped into my head :-) And "obvious" and "less traveled" are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
