A Whale for the Killing

Nature betrayed it. Whalers wanted it. And a whole town is ready to kill it.

A conservationst, stranded with his family at a Newfoundland coastal resort, flies in the face of custom and fights an entire community to prevent a trapped whale's slaughter with only the support of his wife and one of the locals.
