Enter a world where a civil war pits father against son and brother against brother in the struggle for human dignity.

Reporter Sydney Gordon, bright, beautiful, impulsive and determined is like the country she has been assigned to cover; she understands little of compromise and is tortured by the muted shades of life.

Bursting with the fierce passions of humanity, Mambo! is Sydney’s quest to find Jorge Petro-Brain, one of the disappeared - los desconocidos -  a young man who may hold the answer to who is responsible for the brutal murder of an American nun. Jorge’s life has touched many, and the many will change Sydney’s life forever.

Adam Scott, the television producer with whom Sydney shares her journey is  handsome, glib and wracked with demons. Adam and Sydney compete for the same prize, Jorge’s story, using each other in a dance that nearly destroys them both even as they discover their love for one another in the midst of a country lost in the maelstrom of madness.

Haunting, powerful, violent, passionate, Mambo! A Conversation with the Gods, by Halli Casser-Jayne.
