There are literally hundreds – if not thousands – of academic works written about dolphins. This is certainly not one of them, for within these pages dwells a graphic story of the plight of the commercial dolphin. The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy is a true story and a damning exposé of the captive cetacean industry.

The first book in the trilogy, The Perfect Pair: The Enchanted Mirror, is a core text for the University of Salford's BA(Hons) English Language and Creative Writing course, and won Bronze in the Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards 2013. A chapter also won first prize in a prestigious literary competition held by the Manchester Evening News.

Like Gabriela Cowperthwaite's influential 2013 documentary, Blackfish, this story will change people's perception of captive cetaceans forever.
