In this memorable first book, Behind the Dolphin Smile, Richard O'Barry told the inspiring story of his personal transformation from world-famous dolphin trainer (Flipper was his pupil) to dolphin liberator. Now, in To Free a Dolphin, he passionately recounts the dramatic story of his heart-breaking campaign to release captive dolphins back into the wild. With wit and insight he chronicles the extreme opposition he has faced from bureaucrats, major players in the captive-dolphin industry, rival wildlife groups, and well-meaning sentimentalists. He introduces readers to famous show animals he has helped, including Bogie and Bacall of Key Largo. And, most fascinating, he describes his struggles to deprogram and rehabilitate dolphins emotionally scarred from years of captivity--struggles that become battles for the animals' souls.

Behind the Dolphin Smile is the heart-felt true story of an animal lover who dedicated his life to studying and training dolphins, but in the process discovered that he ultimately needed to set them free. Ric O’Barry shares his journey with dolphins and other sea mammals in this captivating autobiographical look back at his years as a dolphin trainer for aquatic theme parks, movies, and television. Also included is a preface relaying a first-hand account of his adventures filming the 2010 Academy Award–winning documentary The Cove, which covertly uncovered Japan’s inhumane dolphin-hunting practices. O’Barry, a successful animal trainer who had had everything—money, flashy cars, pretty women—came to realize that dolphins were easy to train, not because of his great talent, but because they possessed great intelligence, and that keeping them in captivity was cruel and morally wrong. O’Barry now dedicates his life to stopping the exploitation of these exceptional mammals by retraining them to return to their natural habitats.

In book One of the Higgins mystery series, former CIA agent and current U.S. Fish & Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer, Jake Rayland attempts to solve the mystery of dolphins missing from several Florida marine aquariums. Dodging bullets and nothing less than a rocket, he all the while must deal with the absurdities of his life: a by-the- book boss, a board full of oddball and prejudiced nonagenarians who control his trailer park, a daughter in college, an ex-wife and her bottom-feeding lawyer, drug dealers, former colleagues and a bevy of off the wall friends. Jake's logical nature and keen sense of humor keep him grounded as he maneuvers through the quagmire of his life while trying to save and protect an innocent family caught in the middle of the dolphin disappearances.
