      Verhaal dat zich afspeelt in de jaren na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in het (werkelijk bestaande) vissersdorpje Amagansett op Long Island. Een rustig kustplaatsje waar men al generaties lang van de visvangst leeft en nu veel moeite heeft met de toenemende stroom rijke New Yorkers die er vakantiehuizen laat bouwen. Visser en oorlogsveteraan Conrad Labarde en zijn maat Rollo Kemp vinden het lijk van een jonge vrouw in hun netten; het blijkt een New-Yorks societymeisje te zijn dat verdronken is. Het lijkt een ongeluk, maar de uit New York afkomstige politieman Tom Hollis en Labarde denken daar anders over en gaan ieder voor zich op onderzoek uit.
