ITS FIRST VICTIMS - A screeching swan... A fisherman overboard... A drunken woman...One by one, the mysterious killer in Lake Windermere claims its terrified victims. Tearing off limbs with its monstrous teeth, horribly mutilating bodies. Fear sweeps the peaceful holiday resort when experts identify the creature as a giant pike.... 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. The aforementioned is the original text from the rear cover of Cliff's book. I remember this book going into pre-production as a major movie in the early 1980s starring Joan Collins. Sadly, the financiers ran into personal difficulties, and it was never made. Today, there is now renewed interest in this book as a screenplay and movie. In my book 'Tuxedo Warriors' I tell the behind-the-scenes story of my close friend Cliff Twemlow, our adventures together as guerrilla moviemakers and The Pike. NOTE: The transcript of Cliff's book was the earliest we could find, and it is written exactly as it was originally (mistakes included) before it was eventually proofed and eventually published.
