Julian Finch, widower and fisherman, awakes to learn that the
bodies of two colleagues have washed up on the beach of Drake Cove. The
close-knit community is under fierce public scrutiny due to a long-standing
tradition called “The Culling”, the annual slaughter of pilot whales
for consumption. An act which divides the nation.
The suspects are the extreme animal rights group, the Fighters Against Animal
Cruelty (FAAC) who go wherever the politics is trending. They’ve been harassing
the small fishing town for many years, smashing up their boats and sending
vicious hate mail.
Tensions mount after a viral video, uploaded by the FAAC of Julian killing a
pregnant whale, causes uproar online and in real life. In the aftermath, Julian
becomes the victim of hate crime. In order to avoid further life-threatening
attacks, Julian and his daughter take refuge in the home of Frank Blothio:
ex-fisherman turned writer and political activist who does not have the best
history with the animal rights movement, or Drake Cove as a whole.
As Julian integrates into the Blothio way of life, he discovers heinous secrets
and disturbing truths lurking beneath the skin of his hometown that will change
his life forever.

Why Should You Read This?
An exciting page turner, written with multiple POVs, and short chapters. “Culling” is a highly controversial practice, and I liked how Kateri sensitively tackled it. The book keeps you on an edge, and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
