The Native Doctor USED GFPB

Originally published in Ladies’ Home Journal magazine (January 1960), THE NATIVE DOCTOR is A. J. Cronin’s romantic and thrilling tale of Dr. Robert Murray and Nurse Mary Benchley, who travel to a remote Caribbean island to care for a rich sugar planter while he recovers from a serious operation. But Murray and Benchley discover that a wicked conspiracy is brewing against the planter and that an imminent political coup is about to throw the island into turmoil. As they try to escape with their lives, the attraction that blossoms between them gradually intensifies to a “violent sensation of delight.”
