Description
When a Blue Whale tagged with a web-cam as part of a television nature
program broadcasts a brutal murder at sea, an FBI agent with a fear of
water finds herself in a deadly race to reach the animal before an
unknown killer can destroy the digital evidence it carries. For Special
Agent Tara Shores, the many possible suspects each present obstacles as
unique and perilous as the sea itself. Is the murderer one of the web
viewers vying for the controversial reality show’s million-dollar
prizes? The extremist environmental group threatening violence unless
the whale is liberated from its high-tech tracking device? The wealthy
Hollywood power-couple who own the show? Or the troubled, young
inventor of the whale-cam? And just who was the beautiful woman
slaughtered live on the web?
Navigating an ocean of manipulation and deceit, the detective’s best
hope for a solid piece of evidence is the original murder video, still
attached to the back of the 100-ton creature which roams the Pacific
tethered to its electronic leash. But when the tag’s GPS locator
mysteriously fails, it seems that finding the beast will prove
impossible.
As the Special Agent dives deeper into the case, what she initially
dismisses as a publicity stunt for the glitzy reality series soon
sweeps her out to sea in a riptide of greed, sex, and high-tech crime.
