The best, certainly the most evocative, thing about Rick Boyer's Doc Adams thriller, THE WHALE'S FOOTPRINTS, may be its title. When any whale sounds, the swirl left in the water, its "footprint," is unique. Whales' footprints are invoked from time to time in a thriller that sees one of Doc's two sons suspected of murdering a friend. Doc wants to know what good a clue like a whale's footprint is, that disappears. "Everything disappears, Dad, given time" (Ch. 15). And again, Doc shows his State police brother-in-law Joe "... the inverted cone of swirling brine and foam: ... The whale's footprint ... the whale's calling card he leaves when it sounds." Joe's reaction: "Some footprint, Doc, ... Now you see it, now you don't. That's what this Cunningham case reminds me of. ... Leads keep appearing and then disappearing" (Ch. 20) ***** So if you grow bored with unraveling the mystery, there is always plenty about whales, as Doc's son is spending the summer studying them off Cape Cod. -OOO-
