Hardback. Novel set in the fictional Caribbean island of Santa Marta.

It was filmed, quite daringly at the time because of teh interracial romance elements, in 1957. the film stared James Mason, Harry Belafonte, Joan Fontaine, Joan Collins and Harry Belfonte had a huge hit with the theme tune of the same name. 552pp. Dust jacket with a wrap-around illustration by Val Biro.
