Alex McAuliff has received an offer he can't refuse: two million dollars for a geological survey of Jamaica. All Dunstone Limited requires is his time, his expertise, and his absolute secrecy. No one--not even McAuliff's handpicked team--can know of Dunstone's involvement. But British Intelligence is aware of the deal, and they've let Alex in on a secret of their own: The last survey team Dunstone dispatched to Jamaica vanished without a trace. Now it's too late to turn back. Alex already knows about Dunstone--which means he knows too much. From the moment he lands in Jamaica, Alex is a marked man. On an island paradise where a beautiful woman might be a spy and every move could be his last, Alex's only clue to survival is a single mysterious word: Halidon.

Sammendrag: Thriller om geologen Alex McAuliff, der hyres af det mystiske firma Dunstone Limited til en tophemmelig geologisk survey på Jamaica mod en enorm betaling. Da britisk efterretningstjeneste fortæller ham, at et tidligere hold er forsvundet, ved han, at han er bragt i livsfare, men det er for sent at trække sig. På Jamaica forsøger ukendte kræfter at dræbe ham, og han kan ikke skelne mellem ven og fjende – selv en tilsyneladende allieret kvinde kan være spion. I junglens Cock Pit-region opdager han et komplot, der involverer en hemmelig stamme, Halidon, og skjulte økonomiske og politiske interesser. Romanen er en selvstændig actionfyldt spændingsroman med klassiske Ludlum-temaer som konspirationer, dobbeltspil og global magtkamp.
