IT'S FIRST VICTIMS. A screeching swan... A fisherman overboard... A drunken woman... One by one, the mysterious killer in Lake Windermere claims its terrified victims. It tears off limbs with its monstrous teeth and can horrifically mutilate bodies. Fear sweeps the peaceful holiday resort when experts identify the creature as a giant pike.... It is a hellish creature with the strength to rupture boats and the anger to attack them. But for some, the terror becomes a bonanza-the traders who cater to the gathering crowds of ghouls on the shore. And they will do anything to stop divers from finding the creature. Meanwhile, the ripples of bloodshed widen.... The Pike. Above is the original text from the rear cover of Cliff's book. I was part of Cliff's team when the screenplay of this book went into the pre-production phase to become a major movie starring Joan Collins. Sadly, the financiers encountered personal difficulties, so the film was never made. Today, there is renewed interest in this book as a screenplay and movie. In my book, Tuxedo Warriors, I tell the behind-the-scenes story of myself, my close friend Cliff Twemlow, and The Pike.
