Description

From the world's most treacherous waters to its most fabulous kitchens, this is a thrilling tale of the Australian Customs Service pursuit of high seas poachers. One of the longest and most dangerous chases in maritime history covers 3900 nautical miles through snowstorms, icebergs and the worst of the Roaring Forties, in an effort to stop the over-fishing of the extraordinary Patagonian Toothfish.
