The Rotting Whale: A Hugo Sandoval Eco-Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736795439)

When the natural world and the build world collide, the earth needs a good building inspector...In this first case in the new Hugo Sandoval Eco-Mystery series, an old-school San Francisco building inspector must reluctantly venture outside his beloved city and find his sea legs before he can solve the mystery of how a 90-ton blue whale became stranded, twice, in a remote inlet off the North Coast.Set on the turbulent Mendocino Coast against the backdrop of a failing fishing fleet and illegal cannabis grows, Sandoval encounters roadblocks and lies as he grapples with the connection between a red tag posted on the historic Chicken Cove ranch and the decomposing marine mammal at the foot of its cliffs.Debilitated by more than a few idiosyncrasies, reluctant media darling Hugo Sandoval is a people's hero, fighting the good fight in a modern era where development and climate change butt heads - and where each requested permit attempts to eclipse the old San Francisco Sandoval loves.
