Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool's errand: to find the remains of his deceased father in
the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. He knows it's a long shot but Jay feels it's
the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad's death the
previous year. The dive begins well enough but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay
in very real jeopardy made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed.
Suddenly Jay is caught in the squid's tentacles and drawn into the whale's mouth where he is
pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his
oxygen tanks run out - one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.
Suspenseful and cinematic Whalefall is an astoundingly great (Gillian Flynn New York Times
bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life only to find a reason
to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.
