Into The Realm

Caleb Forrest, a twenty-two-year-old modern-day fisherman, has a tale to tell, a tale of justified murder, as he sees it. Experiencing a sort of amnesia from his last trip at sea, he pushes off aboard his prized Cat boat 'Sea Gypsy' for a one-day journey that will take him past his childhood haunts and the memories, both good and bad, that go along with them. The last descendent of a once proud seafaring family, Caleb's left with a burden of land he does not need and cannot afford but must hold onto for tradition sake. Along with his heroic, albeit flawed grandfather, Caleb is pitted against an unscrupulous builder turned town politico who, bound by an ever-decreasing coastline, will do anything to get the land, even if that means using his first-born son as chess piece to do it.The tale is set amidst the unimaginable beauty of an as yet unspoiled moorland and the ultimate sacrifice it will take to protect it. Culminating on the desolate, windswept dunes of Monomoy Island, the young fisherman must finally come to grips with his crime or face something much more daunting than any hangman's gallows."Sit down with Todd Forrest Sherman and let him entertain you. He has crafted a powerful Cape Cod tale of families and jealousies and murder that feels as familiar as the sand in your shoes, yet as fresh as a bright beach day after a week of rain. So go to Cape Cod with Sherman and his characters. You won't want to come back." - William Martin New York Times Bestselling author of Cape Cod and December '41 . "An intoxicating tale. Beautifully written and deeply reseached, place Todd Forrest's Into the Realm up there with the greatest books ever written about Cape Cod. It's that good!" - Casey Sherman, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Finest Hours and Helltown.
