This is a travelogue, an adventure and a wildlife book all rolled into one.
Two twenty-one year old Englishmen are sent to Trinidad in 1972 by a strange religious sect to help the street dogs of Port-of-Spain and become involved in an escapade so bizarre you couldn't make it up.
They arrive at the end of a State of Emergency in a country split by political and economic unrest, with drugs and guns in their luggage, and no visas or work permits. Put up in a house of 'ill repute' and feted by the Mayor, who embroils them in his re-election, they soon become headline news and eventually upset the Government.
Meanwhile, unable to start the job they had been sent to do, they spend several adventurous months absorbing Trinidad life, and exploring the jungles and deserted beaches, experiencing wildlife encounters and near tragic situations in the process.
