Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in an Age of Innocence is a non-fiction book by journalist Michael Capuzzo about the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916. The book was published in 2001 by Broadway Books. Capuzzo argues that the five victims were attacked by a great white shark, though suspicion has also fallen on the bull shark.
