Synopsis: An upstart Jamaican rebellion, some key international interests in bauxite, an Englishman who follows trouble like a terrier, and an American engineer, Bill Stacy, who reluctantly runs him a close second…Interested in the cause of Gregorius, who has a massive Christopher-complex and wants to be King, Stacy is persuaded to sign on with him by Lady Felicia Bantry, whose endless diffidence and pure Irish fascination get him. Once having crossed the Atlantic to Jamaica, however, Felicia’s charms cool and her cruelty heightens, Gregorius’ uprising peters out, Bill’s own life is in jeopardy, as is that of his English friend, and the Americans and the British get the situation back under control....A glamourous novel, which takes the reader on a journey from the dark cantles of Ireland to the sunnier beaches of Montego Bay!
