Only when he is on board the steamer halfway to their remote destination up river in Guyana does Milton Woodsley realize that there is more to Henry Nevinson s invitation to spend time with his family in their jungle cottage. Milton, an artist, thinks he has been invited to do some paintings for Nevinson, a rich businessman. But when the Nevinsons mention a flute player that no one else can hear, Woodsley begins to glean that there is more to their stay. Told in Woodsley s skeptical, self-mocking and good-humored voice, Mittelholzer creates a brilliantly atmospheric setting for his characters and their terrified discovery that this is not a place where they can be at home.About the Author:Edgar Mittelholzer was born in New Amsterdam in what was still British Guiana. His books include Creole Chips, Corentyne Thunder, and A Morning at the Office. He has published another twenty-one novels and two works of non-fiction, including his autobiography, A Swarthy Boy.
