Summary

Full of politics, heart, and the sort of suspense that  nobody in the world does better, The Mission Song  turns John Le Carre's laser eye for the complexity of the modern world  on turmoil and conspiracy in  Africa.Abandoned by both his Irish father and Congolese mother, Bruno Salvador has long looked for someone to guide his life. He has found it in Mr. Anderson of British Intelligence. Bruno’s African upbringing, and fluency in numerous African languages, has made him a top interpreter in London, useful to businesses, hospitals, diplomats–and spies. Working for Anderson in a clandestine facility known as the “Chat Room,” Salvo (as he’s known) translates intercepted phone calls, bugged recordings, and snatched voice mail messages.When Anderson sends him to a  mysterious island to interpret during a secret conference between  Central African warlords, Bruno thinks he is helping Britain bring peace  to a bloody corner of the world. But then he hears something he should  not have...By turns thriller, love story, and comic  allegory of our times, The Mission Song is a  crowning achievement, recounting an interpreter's heroically naive  journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of  lightness.
