'India! What a place for a white man to become a derelict! Yet that is just what happened to Terry Gordon, once second officer in the P. & O. Company. Ruined by a treacherous beauty, Ronda Stoddard, Terry earns the ugly title of 'the White Derelict of Bombay.' A most extraordinary relationship develops between the Derelict and lovely Vida Lockley. Read the book to discover the climax.' (Publisher's blurb)
