This “accomplished sequel” to the acclaimed novel Highliners once again “captures the bitter realities and joyful rewards of a fisherman’s life” (Publishers Weekly).

Now a respected skipper, Hank Crawford is running his own boat. And with a hefty mortgage to pay off, a brand-new boat, and an even newer baby, he and his family need the crab and salmon to keep coming into their nets. But the sea is a fickle mistress.

The crab season is the poorest anyone can remember, and then the salmon market collapses. When his child falls ill and his boat gets damaged, Hank makes a desperate journey to his partners in Japan where he must face a grim crossroads: compromise his own business ethics, or risk losing everything he’s worked so hard for.

With the same thrill of danger, McCloskey captures the excitement, the drama, and the never-ending fears that are the landmarks of the commercial fisherman’s trade. Breakers is a triumphant continuation to the saga Highliners began.
