To the casual visitor Santa Marta is a sub-tropical paradise, a small sister of Jamaica, Bermuda and Nassau, unmentioned in the colourful brochures of travel agents: an island where the sun shines throughout the year on the sandy beaches of innumerable coves, on the cane-fields and coconut plantations, on the shingled huts of the villages and the fine houses of the white planters handed down through generation after generation from the Sugar Barons of a past century. But this was not how the newspaper columnist, Bradshaw, saw it when he arrived on his first trip to the Caribbean. Bradshaw found Santa Marta a smouldering emotional volcano of atmosphere and racial inequality - ambitions and jealousies, hopes and fears, complexes and inhibitions tangled with wealth and power. Santa Marta is a place where the blood never cools.
