The Doc Adams Series - Book 5
The Whale's Footprints
“Boyer’s prose soars as he describes the shiny gray mammals we know as whales…Jack’s mother and her dishy friend, Janice, salt the dialogue with snappy, hip jargon.”
Publishers Weekly
What starts as a pleasant summer on Cape Cod for Doc and Mary Adams turns suddenly chilling when their house guest is murdered in his bed—with the very pills that control his epilepsy. Their son Jack becomes the prime suspect. After all, the victim had been Jack’s rival both at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and for the attention of a beautiful whale watcher named Alice.
The evidence is too damning to ignore, but an enraged Doc knows his son is innocent and sets out to prove it. His only clue is that the real murderer must have been very interested in the victim’s top-secret lab work…
