Freedom Plant, The

An engrossing story set in the 1990s but with its roots in the "fishing wars" of the 1960s and '70s. Then, foreign fleets, doubling as spy ships, hauled vast catches off the U.S. East Coast, bitterly resented by the fishermen whose livlihoods they were poaching. Woven into the realistic stories of fishermen on their boats is a mystery that spans a quarter of a century.
