ISLAND  MAMBO              

                            novel by  Robert Burdette Sweet

What the reviewers are saying:

     Robert Burdette Sweet is a skilled writer and one who delights in challenging our assumptions about civilization. In Island Mambo, he takes on Nature versus Nurture by showing what happens when so-called civilized people are taken out of their familiar surroundings and forced to learn to play the game of life and death with all the rules changed.
     Four friends arrive to visit Edgar on his tropical island home. Edgar is the keystone in their lives, their mirror - although one he distorts for his own purposes. It is he who awakens desires in them, he teases and tortures them with pleasure. Then Edgar is murdered, and abruptly the four are left on an island where personality, logic and civilization are all fluid creations rather than fixed elements.
     Who can they turn to now? The strange woman called the Mambo whose roots are elemental and who may have a connection with his death? Lenny, Edgar's native servant, his lover and executor of his will? Staying alive may require trusting in unseen forces and leaving the known safe world behind.
     A suspenseful novel with a murder at its centre, Island Mambo leads the reader on a bizarre, almost hallucinatory journey into our inner fears and drives and gives a vision of how we might act if we knew no one was watching.
