This is one of my ancient paperbacks that I I couldn't finish.
Robert Ludlum wrote this before he was famous and this was released under a pen name.
It involves a corporation buying up land in Jamaica for development. I got to about page 186 and I had to give it up.
I just couldn't get into it.
From AI Overview:
""The Cry of the Halidon," written by Robert Ludlum under the pseudonym Jonathan Ryder, is a thriller set in Jamaica. While the book starts with promise, the plot often deviates into what some consider silly and dragging. However, it does maintain a consistent and descriptive writing style.
Some reviewers find the storyline complex and stretched, with some even saying it makes no sense. The plot can feel a bit "out there" and deviate from Ludlum's typical suspense. Some readers found the book slow to pick up, with the plot not generating sufficient interest until a significant portion of the book had been read. "
