A thriller from Owen Rutter, and a race for treasure in the Pacific and a tragic ending... it is "centred around a dying sailor, mysteriously murdered, an uncharted island in the Pacific, inhabited by an unknown race of pygmies, temples, white priests, and a monster." Interwoven throughout are the cross currents of love of two men for one woman and two women for one man. Lordy.
