Eye of the Whale

About the Book

Eye of the Whale is a mystery novel in which migrating gray whales, those gentle giants of the Pacific, attract a highly respected university professor to a sleepy lagoon on the western shores of Mexico, a lagoon only recently saved from a massive development project. A nearly fatal attack on his daughterÕs life and the search for the whereabouts of the professor leads the reader on a dangerous chase in which the hunters become the hunted when the conspiracy Ñ an insidious plot of remorseless revenge Ñ is uncovered. At times poignant, the characters portray events that are not entirely fictional. In addition to its relevance to an environmental issue of world wide interest, the story serves to alert the peoples of Mexico and the United States to a danger of which many are unaware.
