Hailed everywhere ns a masterpiece of suspense, The Mission Song tells the story of Bruno Salvador (aka Salvo) the twenty-five-year-old orphaned love child of an Irish missionary and a Congolese woman. Quickly rising to the top of his profession as an interpreter, Salvo is dispatched by British Intelligence to a top-secret meeting where he must interpret matters never intended for his ears. By turns thriller, love story, and comic allegory of our times, The Mission Song recounts Salvo's journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of lightness.
