Tiger Shark Murder: James "Jimmy" Smith

Send us a text

Tiger Shark ends up at Coogee Aquarium and becomes a huge hit. However, when it vomits up a severed arm people fear sharks even more.  It would turn out that the arm was not severed because of the shark, but because of a murder. With a distinct tattoo and fingerprints the owner of the arm is found to be James "Jimmy" Smith. Despite the local paper's claim of Jimmy having no enemies it seemed he had not only an enemy, but one who was already no stranger to the crime world.
