The Angry Island
By James Pattinson
When Guy Radford goes to visit an old college friend on the West Indian island of St Marien, he is blissfully unaware of the trouble he is flying into.
Divisions of race and wealth have created such tensions between desperate workers and powerful plantation owners that a violent showdown is inevitable. When Radford unwittingly becomes caught in the crossfire, he finds his own life in danger.
And, as the conflict intensifies, the fact that he has fallen in love adds merely one more complication to an already tricky situation…
James Pattinson was born on December 15, 1915.
