Abigail James, with full trust in her escort Justin Webb, skips along and holds his hand as they stroll the giant Gulf fishing pier. As he helps her up onto the top rail, Abby giggles with excitement in anticipation of possibly seeing one of the many sharks known to prowl below the pier. Abby is silent with terror as she falls backward into the Gulf of Mexico's frigid waters twenty feet below. What manner of person will harm a young child? Why? Is it insanity or is it for love, hate, or money? Detective Steven Acer finds the answers to these questions and they are revealed in the jaw-dropping ending of THE PIER. When the 'instinctive' shark aggressively attacks its quarry, it does so for its very survival. When 'knowing' humans rain violence down onto their own kind, they may do so out of misguided love. The shark is free to move on; the humans are to be punished.
