Lena's father, a highly respected professor at the University of Hawaii, is missing. A spyhopping gray whale at Laguna San Ignacio on the western shores of Baja Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage site only recently saved from a massive development project was a silent witness to the professorÝs fate. Lena plunges headlong into a frantic search to find her father but the powerful person responsible for her father's disappearance is determined to stop her. Panic stricken and at a loss as to how to proceed after surviving a nearly fatal attack on her life, she enlists the aid of a former lover, a military officer. She flies to Baja knowing that she is being pursued yet nevertheless determined to unravel the mystery. Eye of the Whale leads the reader on a dangerous chase in which the hunters become the hunted when the conspiracy, an insidious plot of remorseless revenge is uncovered. The story serves to alert the peoples of Mexico and the United States to a danger of which many are unaware. A news report by Reuters and included as an afterword indicates that the threat is real. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cliff Nickerson is a retired PhD scientist who makes his home in San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico. He is married to Maru, a Mexican citizen who is also a writer. Living, traveling and interacting with Baja citizens has provided Cliff with a wealth of knowledge of local problems. Prior to his retirement, Cliff was involved in several environmental projects in Mexico City. As a result of those associations he was asked to present a seminar at the Mexican facility which is the focus of the plot for Eye of the Whale. It was the shock and outrage which he felt at the conclusion of that visit which led to the writing of this, his first novel. Comments and descriptions of that facility are based on his actual experiences and not the result of conjecture or second hand information. Cliff was chief scientist for a project coordinated by the University of Hawaii in 1980. He apologizes for any mistakes in the Hawaiian part of the text caused by a lapse in memory over the intervening years.
