When whale trainer Eddy Byron is found belly-up in an aquarium tank at Oceanus Aquatic Park, it doesn't take much imagination to locate his killer: the puncture marks on Eddy's wet suit are a perfect match to Rocky, an eight-ton hunk of killer whale who's the park's star attraction. But for the owners of Oceanus, who are in the middle of delicate negotiations for the park's sale, it becomes imperative that rocky be exonerated. Toward that end they hire cop-turned-Cape Cod private eye Soc Socarides. |
