Publisher's summary

Moby Dick meets Old Man and the Sea in this thrilling, open water tale of revenge.


James Webb lost his son a year ago.

Grief has drained all the joy from his life and left him with an all-consuming need to avenge his boy’s death.

But it's not as though he can rely on the police to catch the killer... since it's not human.

The first documented case of an orca killing a human in the wild has baffled local scientists; it’s not supposed to happen.

However, a chaotic cell phone video shows his son's last moments while water skiing, and two things are clear: an orca dragged his son under the water, and the whale had a distinctive mark on its back.

A year to the day of losing his son, James sets off on a small boat with one thought in mind: either he or the killer whale will die before sundown.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “I was immersed in this story written by J.R. Rain from the very beginning. J.R. Rain tells a story about a father who will stop at nothing to avenge his son’s death. It has a intriguing plot, the story has some great twists and turns that will surprise you!!” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “I love J.R. Rain’s books! I prefer his supernatural series, but decided to try this one because we all need some diversity in our life. It's a great, short read about a man coming to terms with his son's death and planning his revenge. Only his revenge is against an orca. How's the plan going to work? Will it work? Will he end up shark bait and no closure? Read the story if you want these answers. Its worth the short read.” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “This standalone story of a father's grief was a great read. It had my full attention from the first page. You can feel this father’s love for his son and his grief. He wants to avenge his son’s death and learns a few things on his journey. I found the book well written and my heart ached for this man. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great tear-jerker.” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “A heartfelt exploration of loss, grief and forgiveness. A great story of how love transcends death and understanding transcends cruelty.” —Amazon review

★★★★★ “This book was not the usual J.R. Rain paranormal book (nothing against Samantha Moon and all the other vampires, mermaids, and other heroes that go bump in the night). It was thoroughly enthralling, keeping me interested in the mental and physical trials and tribulations reminiscent of Ahab and his search for the Great White Whale. The book has no dialog, but the main character’s narrative is true to life and believable. The action is well placed and keeps the reader enthralled. It is a story that easily allows the reader to suspend disbelief.” —Amazon review
