The Gaunt Woman is the story of the adventures of a Gloucester skipper on the trail of a wolf-pack of Nazi U-boats and their mother ship the Gaunt Woman. It is Edmund Gilligan?s forth novel. Mr. Gilligan writes from first-hand knowledge of the sea, Gloucester fishing schooners and U-boats. He was in the Navy in the First World War on a sub-chaser working with Canadian mine sweepers in Newfoundland waters, and during the last year Mr. Gilligan has made several trips on Gloucester fishing boats to the Grand Banks, has seen U-boats and the result of their depredations on the fishing fleet.
