Beat on a Damask Drum – From publisher’s note: ‘Into the nightmare gloom of a jungle war in Indo-China comes the beautiful Joey Castle desperately seeking the man who holds the key to her faith in herself – Adam Canning. Isolated in an alien world of violence facing the last agonising hour before defeat, her involvement with a new Adam and the men who surround him sets a pattern for a struggle which can only be resolved through disaster.’
